Their main streets ran in a north-south direction and were crossed by smaller east-west streets. The cities were divided into large walled neighborhoods. Most buildings were made of mud bricks. Public wells provided the people with a regular supply of water. Houses had drains that were connected to a sewer system under the streets. A system of chutes took trash from houses to garbage bins.

Mohenjo-Daro was a model of city planning because it already had features that could be found in early cities in the beginning of it's time. The Mohenjo-Daro already had a canal system during their time so their city became the model of city planning in the future years. Even though their civilization suddenly disappeared, they left their amazing cities to be followed by the upcoming generations.
