💡 Solution & Explanation

Dholavira stands apart among Harappan civilization urban centers due to its distinct tripartite planning featuring a fortified citadel, middle town, and lower town. Most other Indus sites like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro typically exhibit a dual division comprising a citadel and a lower residential area.
