Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, now in Pakistan, were the first two cities of this Civilisation to be discovered; their indentification goes back to 1924, a century ago. Several sites followed in the Indus plains known as 'Indus Valley civilisation ;  

Later on Dholavira in Gujarat, Rakhigarhi in Haryana, Ganweriwala in Pakistan and Lothal in Gujarat were discovered. It is interesting to note that the Sarasvati basin includes not only two major cities –Rakhigrhi and Ganweriwala but aslo several smaller ones Farmana, Banawali, Bhirrana in Haryana and Kalibangan in Rajasthan.

The larger Harappan cities were built according to precise plans. They had wide streets which were often oriented to the cardinal directions. Most cities seen to have been sorrounded by massive wall and had two distinct parts – 'the upper town;' where the local elite lived and the "lower town" where common people lived.  

Some large buildings seen to have been used for collective purposes – for instance, warehouses where goods were stored. Individual houses of various sizes lined the streets and smaller lanes. The construction was the same for small and big houses. All buildings were made of bricks. 

The famous 'Great Bath' in Mohenjo-daro, a small but elaborate tank which measured about 12x7 metres and had waterproofing materials applied on top of carefully laid-out bricks.
