    The document discusses the evolution of cities and towns in India from ancient to modern times. It begins with the Indus Valley civilization cities around 3000 BC, then describes cities in the Vedic period governed by manuals on city planning. Buddhist cities emerged up to 320 AD, followed by medieval cities between 350-1500 AD and Mughal cities between 1500-1700 AD. British colonial cities developed before 1947, with growth of various types of towns and cities after Indian independence in 1947 such as industrial and steel towns. The origins and growth of cities have largely been governed by site conditions, especially proximity to rivers for trade and sanitation.

    Evolution of town
    • The origin and growth of towns and cities were
    governed by the site conditions.
    • The towns were generally evolved on the river banks, by
    the sea shore or by the side of a big lake, a flowing
    stream was always preferred for trade and sanitary
    requirements.
    • Most of the early civilization have sprung on the banks
    of some navigable rivers or at any natural port which
    not only provide security to the town but also acted as a
    communicating link from one civilization to another.
    • The towns/cities on the river bank were usually oblong
    shape to take the maximum advantage of the river.
    • It could be said rivers were the main cause for the
    origin, growth and even decline of many ancient cities.
    • Physical safety and communication links are the two
    prime factors which lead to the development of towns.
    • The earliest civilizations were seen on the banks of rivers
    like Nile Ganga Sindhu.
