        abstract = {This research is based on a qualitative exploratory study. Streets play a major role in human lifestyle and well-being, and where they are directly connected to houses, they become a second home and a communal space. Vadnagar, as a city with a history of 2500 years of continuous habitation, the residents of this town are attached to their town, and now it has India’s largest Archaeological Experiential Museum. The streets of Vadnagar tell a story about the history and human settlement. Therefore, this history and heritage should be preserved. From the street, this can be achieved by keeping the essence of the cultural and traditional architectural and street elements in the newer urban construction of Vadnagar in the outer part of the town. By doing this, residents can also feel a sense of belongingness and gain the advantage of the traditional architecture with modern technologies.},
