The interaction between transport, land-uses and travel patterns produce
diverse transportation problems in urban cities with traffic congestion as the
most visible manifestation. Traffic congestion is a frequent phenomenon in
most cities around the globe. This paper reviews the interaction between land-
use traffic congestion through published literature. The objective of this study
is to encourage and provide researchers with future research directions in
land-use and traffic congestion. For this purpose, a systematic review was
performed analysing 45 articles from the year 2010 to 2020 using a
descriptive approach. Subsequently, the results of the study show that
although the interaction between land-use and traffic congestion has gained
currency in developed countries far less is known on this subject in developing
parts of the world, though new evidence is steadily accumulating.
Consequently, limitations of this work are presented, opportunities are
identified for future lines of research. Finally, the conclusion confirms the
need for further research addressing the methodological concerns.
