Abstract


The main objective of this paper is to discover how early Indian towns were planned, components of typical well-organized cities, and the town planning process in ancient India. In addition, when planning any normal city, the planner should keep in mind the right application of norms and principles. Thus, planning can become a meaningful tool for guiding and managing the city and its surroundings. Thus, planning obviously contributes to developing towards a city that is not only socially and economically inclusive, but also sustainable, with social and economic elements founded in natural resource preservation, within the context of participatory and democratic public policies.
