Source A: Description of the City of Mohenjo-Daro

"The city of Mohenjo-Daro was remarkably advanced for its time, with a grid-like street pattern that divided the city into blocks. Each block contained houses built with baked bricks, featuring flat roofs and courtyards. Notably, the city included a sophisticated drainage system, with covered drains running along the streets, which collected waste and prevented flooding. The citadel area housed public buildings, possibly a granary or administrative center. The uniformity of the bricks and the organized layout suggest careful planning and a high level of civic engineering. The city's design indicates that urban planning was a priority, with distinct zones for residential, commercial, and administrative functions, all integrated into a well-structured environment.
