The excavations of the ruins showed a remarkable skill in town

planning.
The main streets and roads were set in a line, sometimes
running straight for a mile, and were varying in width from 4
meters to 10 meters.
Most of these roads and streets were paved with fire brunt
bricks. On the either side of the street stood houses of various
sizes which did not protrude into the streets.
The main streets intersected at right angles, dividing the city into
squares or rectangular blocks each of which was divided length
wise and cross wise by lanes.
Some buildings had a lamp post and a well. There was an
elaborate drainage system which emptied into the river.
