Streets in cities are the element responsible for circulation and transferring of people or goods either by vehicular transportation, pedestrians or means of bicycles and scooters. Movement is the basic level of functionality in streets where activities are formed depending on the type and rate of transferring of users in urban settlements. The paper studies and analyses the spatial configuration of Motamayez district in 6th of October city, Egypt. It aims at exploring and comparing the influence of both of internal and external streets attributes on movement flow in residential neighborhoods for vehicles and pedestrians as an approach for studying urban vibrancy in districts. Street accessibility (in terms of integration and choice-to-depth values), street length and street width are all studied and compared together with each of vehicles and pedestrians flow. It uses space syntax as a technique for analyzing and measuring degrees of connectivity and accessibility of streets using Depthmap software. It has found out that external attributes (in terms of integration and choice-to-depth) have significant influence on movement rates of both of vehicles and pedestrians more than internal streets attributes of length and width.
