History
Pre-Colonial period
The Indus Valley Civilization, the first known permanent and largely urban settlement that flourished between 2800 BC to 1800 BC boasted of an advanced and thriving economic system. It's citizens practiced agriculture, domesticated animals, made tools and weapons from copper, bronze and tin and traded with other cities. Evidence of well laid streets, layouts, drainage system and water supply in the valley's major cities, Mohenjo-daro, Rakhigarhi and Harappa reveals their knowledge of urban planning.
