Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The housing pattern in Harappan cities was carefully planned. Harappan cities had distinctive planned patterns for streets, drains, and houses. The houses generally had either one or two stories. They built rooms around a courtyard with a separate bathing area and wells to supply water. Many cities of Harappan culture had covered drains laid out in straight lines along the streets. Each drain had a gentle slope for water to flow through it. Harappan cities had an elaborate drainage system, which connected drains in houses to those on the streets, and the street drains to bigger ones. They built inspection holes to clean them. The remains of the cities indicate that Harappans planned and built houses, drains, and streets simultaneously.
