What artifacts and evidence suggest that Harappa and Mohenjo-Dara were busy, thriving cities?

The artifacts and evidence in Harappa and Mohenjo-Dara recognized as well-planned town because their roadways were built out in a grid layout, connecting at right angles.

Aftifacts:

Harappan uses dockyards, granaries, warehouses, brick platforms, and protective walls.

Mohenjo-Dara uses fired and mortared brick; some incorporated sun-dried mud-brick and wooden superstructures.

Evidence:

Harappan uses advanced architecture with dockyards, granaries, warehouses, brick platforms, and protective walls.

Mohenjo-Dara studys the ruins of Mohenjodaro, we see that the city was carefully planned.

The city's wealth and stature is evident in artifacts such as ivory, lapis, carnelian, and gold beads, as well as the baked-brick city structures themselves.
Harappan and Mohenjodaro were recognized as well-planned towns because their roadways were built out in a grid layout, connecting at right angles. The towns of the Indus Valley Civilisation possessed an excellent drainage system. The street drain was connected to every dwelling
