Cities and settlement of Harappan Civilisation were well-planned. Many craft production centres were there for whom raw material was brought from far-off places. Agriculture settlements were also developing. All these functions could have been performed by any ruling class because general masses could not take important collective decisions. Yet some scholars denied the existence of any ruling class in Harappan Civilisation but it hardly seems reality. In short, the following functions could have been performed by rulers in Harappan society:
- Making urban planning: Urban planning of Harappan Civilisation was of top quality. Cities were developed according to proper plan. Streets and roads were wide enough. All the roads bisect each other at right angles. People used to live in houses of baked bricks. Length, breadths and width of the bricks were of standard size. Ruler class used to live in citadel of towns and common people lived in lower city. There were provision for windows and doors in the houses. Every house had courtyard, stairs, bathroom, and kitchen. There were two or three storyed buildings. People used to make large buildings. One great bath has also been found at Mohenjodaro which could have been used for some kind of special ritual bath. It was 11.88 metres in length 7.01 mts in breadth and 2.43 mt in depth. The largest building of this town was the warehouse with the dimension of 45.71 x 15.23 mt. Six warehouses have been found at Harappa. Harappan cities had the carefully planned drainage system. Drainage system was properly made which was covered with bricks. These bricks could have been removed at the time of cleaning. Domestic waste water had to flow into the street drains. Every house needed to have one wall along a street.
- Different Crafts: different types of crafts prevailed in Harappan culture which could have been regulated by the state. Tin and nickel were mixed by craftsmen to make copper. Copper was used to make statues, jars and different types of implements like axe, cutter, knife, etc. Evidences have been found about different crafts prevailed in Harappan towns. They were very much expert in making seals and jewellery of gold and silver and statues. Harappan craftsmen were also expert in bread-making. They were familiar with the art of weight-making. Jars made by them were quite shining.
- Settlement near Raw material: Some raw materials were available for craftsmen in local places. That is why craft centres were developed, by the state near those areas where raw material were easily available. Raw materials included beads, shells and metals etc.
- Procuring raw material from distant places: Rulers used to send expeditions to far-off places to procure raw material for craft production. For example expeditions may have been sent to Khetri region of Rajasthan. (For Copper) and South India (Gold).
- Contacts with distant lands: Rulers used to establish contacts with distant lands. Mainly copper was brought through these contacts. Evidences have been found that copper was brought from Oman, on the South east trip of the Arabian Peninsula.

The Permanent Settlement achieved an unfriendly impact on the Zamindars. A large number of them couldn't understand or gather the land income from the occupants and subsequently couldn't pay the cash to the public authority in time thus their properties were sold.

Water Resources: To fulfil their water requirements, the rulers of Vijayanagara, built reservoirs of varying sizes. As this city was in the aridest zones of the peninsula, the rulers made elaborate arrangements to store rainwater and take it to the city. They built a very large tank in the early years of the fifteenth century. It is now called Kamalapuram Tank. This water not only irrigated the fields but also served the royal centre. The water of the river Tungabhadra was also fully utilised. Besides, there was the Hiriya Canal which drew water from a dam across the Tungabhadra river. This canal, built by kings of the Sangama Dynasty irrigated the cultivated valley.
Fortifications: Different parts of the city of Vijayanagara were enclosed with great fortress walls. There were seven lines of forts that not only encircled the city of Vijayanagara but also its agricultural land and forests. The outer-most wall linked the hills surrounding the city. This wall was built with wedge-shaped blocks of stone. They fixed well into each other and did not require mortar or any cementing agent. The inner portion of the walls was of earth packed with rubble.
This fortification enclosed agricultural tracts like cultivated fields, gardens and forests. Modern archaeologists have found evidence of an agricultural tract between the sacred centre and the urban core. To irrigate this tract, there was an elaborate canal system that drew water from the Tungabhadra.
The agricultural tracts were incorporated within the 'fortified area with a purpose. In the medieval periods, sieges were laid to starve the defenders into submission. These sieges could last even for months and years. So the rulers built large granaries within the fortified areas. Therefore the rulers of Vijayanagara adopted an elaborate strategy to protect their agricultural belt.
However, the second line of fortification surrounded the inner core of the urban complex and the third line of fortification went round the royal centre. There were well-guarded gates to enter the fort which led to the major roads. They had distinctive architectural features. There was an arch on the gateway and a dome over the gate.
Roads: The roads linked different parts of the city of Vijayanagara. They also led out of the city, went through the whole valley and avoided rocky terrain. Many important roads started from temple gateways and were lined by bazaars.

He found these hills as impenetrable. They posed a great risk and danger to the travellers like him. Buchanan also found the hilly people as hostile, apprehensive and not willing to talk to any traveller. In fact, all the Paharis looked at him with suspicion and distrust.
