The Indus Valley Civilization, one of the world's earliest urban societies, flourished in the Bronze Age, roughly from 3300 to 1300 BCE.

These cities featured well-organized grid systems, advanced drainage and sanitation systems, and standardized brick construction. The inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization were skilled artisans, producing intricate pottery, seals, and metalwork. Their economy was based on agriculture, with evidence of wheat, barley, and cotton cultivation. Trade played a vital role, with evidence of connections to Mesopotamia and other regions.
