- The Janapadas with definite geographic borders and administrative systems were established roughly around 1000 B.C.E.
- It resulted in the creation of sixteen Mahajanapadas from Afghanistan stretching to the banks of the Godavari in the south.
- The capital cities of the mahajanapadas and some other cities, which flourished because of prospering trade once again brought the age of urbanisation in India.
- It is known as the ‘Second Urbanisation’.
- By the 6th century B.C.E. these and a few other cities had become very prosperous.
- Thus, the process of second urbanisation began in ancient India.
