Abstract: 
The swift pace of urbanization and the escalating effects of global warming have contributed to environmental degradation, prompting initiatives to expand green spaces in order to alleviate the impact of urban heat islands, heat waves, and climate change. In Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the insufficient proportion of public trees per capita has led to heat-related discomfort and heightened CO2 emissions. Street trees play a vital role in urban green infrastructure, improving air quality, ameliorating urban heat, conserving energy, and optimizing rainwater management. Nonetheless, the adverse effects of urbanization on roadside trees, particularly in densely populated areas with constrained space for tree cultivation, pose a significant challenge. As a result, solving the conflict between trees and infrastructure is imperative, giving precedence to fostering the robust growth of trees and enhancing the thermal comfort benefits they offer within the framework of urban
development. Furthermore, the dearth of strategic planning, pertinent data, and comprehensive policies may exacerbate the decline in urban tree density, underscoring the necessity for the enhancement and supplementation of existing guidelines. This study endeavors to comprehensively examine Vietnam's current policies and guidelines pertaining to roadside trees and the status of street trees in HCMC. By identifying the encountered challenges and presenting viable solutions, the objective is to refine urban treescape planning
