Abstract Residential corridors are not only the movement corridors; they act as welcoming ground for everyday activity where residents share emotion, moment and domestic lives. The edges that formed by plinths, boundary wall, vegetation layer, shared space- play a crucial role in shaping how residents meet, rest and live. This residential street and edges are the primary layer of social engagement when the per capita green space is decreasing in the current scenario.

To support the study many literatures study has been reviewed where it reflects on residential liveability, comfort, visual connectivity, privacy, threshold, inclusivity etc, which are the key parameter in a residential neighbourhood, as they provide theoretical foundation. This makes a clear understanding of how the residential street and edge regulate social behaviour and community participation.

For a valid final finding a mixed qualitative-analytical methodology was used, which combine spatial documentation, behaviour mapping, residents’ point of view and expert validation through an analytical hierarchy process (AHP).The findings reveal that ecological quality, inclusivity, belongings have the strongest influence on liveability. Building edge promoting better visual quality and recessed plinth foster more community participation, while the big opaque wall, less visual connection reduces the potential connection.

The study concludes that residential street and edges perform a root for collective lives, and better communication, shaping how people feel, use and share the street. Enhancing the street edge by greenery, visual permeability, shared micro spaces can transform the residential areas into inclusive, and more vibrant community environment.
