Yes indeed. It seems however that cities like Mohenjo-Daro or Harappa, were
fairly well planned. In the newer maps of the excavations, you can see broad
and strait streets with behind them a maze of smaller streets and alleyways.
The fact that they used sewers for the houses draining into the main
collectors in/under the main streets, made this almost of a necessity.
Fascinating!
