The Indus Valley Civilization (c. 2600–1900 BCE) was one of the world’s earliest urban cultures, distinguished by its systematically planned cities, advanced infrastructure, and high degree of standardization. Its cities represent a unique model of ancient urbanism—orderly, hygienic, and administratively coordinated, yet lacking monumental palaces or temples.
Major cities were distributed across present-day Pakistan and north-western India, connected by river systems and trade routes.
