Abstract Rapid urbanization and population growths have changed both the physical and psychological aspect of urban life. Environmental psychology proposes that the quality of residential environments affects mental restoration as well as residential satisfaction. The present study dealt with the relationship between perceived restorativeness and residential satisfaction of housing board urban dwellers. A quantitative correlational research design was followed, using a sample of 300 adult residents of Tamilnadu housing board, chennai, obtained by using convenience and snowball sampling methods. Data were collected using the Perceived Restorativeness Scale, and the Residential Environmental Satisfaction Scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analysis were conducted with the aid of the statistical package known as SPSS. Results showed that the mean scores are 64.033 for perceived restorativeness and 56.430 for residential satisfaction. The null hypothesis was rejected obtaining significant negative correlation was found between the variables (r = -0.715, p < 0.001), which suggests that the higher the perceived restorativeness, the lower the residential satisfaction among the participants. These results emphasize the importance of integrating restorative environmental features with better residential infrastructure and community planning in improving urban well-being and housing satisfaction among residents in rapidly growing cities and public housing environments in places around the world today and future urban development contexts and policy planning
