According to fairly complete statistics, by the end of 1993, the city had nearly 700 large and small roads that were named and some roads were not named. The names of the roads are long-established, and have been changed many times through different regimes and timelines. Determination of distance, intersections, history of formation and development of roads, squares, cultural constructions, religious buildings, offices, historical relics, revolutionary relics ... along the two sides of the road and the history of the street name (famous people, landscapes, famous places, historical events, revolutionary events ...) is necessary for the life and understanding of the people and is responsive to socio-cultural studies. Researcher Nguyen Dinh Tu has been investigating and compiling the content of this book and has been highly appreciated by the history, geography researchers and the Department of Education of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.
