উত্তরঃ

To establish Khalifatabad as a thriving Muslim colony, Ulugh Khan Jahan undertook extensive urban planning and infrastructural development with the primary goal of making the city habitable for its residents in the 15th century.

As explicitly stated in the passage, Khan Jahan built a comprehensive network of essential facilities. This included a system of roads to ensure connectivity, bridges to overcome natural barriers and facilitate movement, public buildings to serve the community's needs, and reservoirs to secure a vital water supply for the populace.

These actions were crucial for transforming a new settlement into a functional and self-sufficient urban center. The roads and bridges provided necessary transportation and communication links, while public buildings catered to communal activities and governance. Furthermore, the establishment of reservoirs ensured access to fresh water, a fundamental requirement for human habitation, demonstrating Khan Jahan's foresight in urban development.

Thus, through these well-planned and executed infrastructural projects, Khan Jahan successfully created a fully functional and livable city that supported a considerable population, laying the foundation for what became the historic Mosque City.
