It is widely accepted that transport facilities are among the most important factors affecting the distribution of economic activities, and improvements in this field are often recommended as one way of tackling the problems of the 'underdeveloped' countries of the world, and especially that of the uneven spread of development within such countries. This is a serious problem in East Africa, and high hopes have rested on the substantial amount of new railway construction which has taken place since 1950. The new lines and some proposed further extensions are shown on Fig. 13.1
