Street design scenarios using vegetation for sustainable thermal comfort in Erzurum, Turkey.Urbanization models that do not comply with the planning criteria are affecting human lives.  In urban areas, street trees have positive contributions to the ecosystem and human thermal comfort.  In this study, the thermal comfort of the main streets that connect people to each other and provide access and transportation has been thermally explored.  A different green scenario is proposed, and the best thermal comfort scenario in both seasons is determined.  The green scenarios of wide canyon streets positively affect the outdoor thermal comfort in both seasons.  It has been concluded that it is possible to increase thermal comfort through improvement in the open space in street and more suitable plant preferences for livable urbanization.  Planning streets in a new city characterized by summer and winter seasons should take into consideration an accurate decision for providing a thermal comfort level and healthy urbanization.
