The initial period of Malayan development reflected an effort to exert administrative control and extract tin ore through a complementary rail and road system. The network system provided a base for the development of rubber estates in the subsequent period when the road network became recognized as the most flexible form of transportation. After the formation of a basic grid, road net-worth growth was associated with social and economic objectives at the rural level. The network expansion generally follows the “ideal-typical sequential'’model and may be viewed as a process rather than discrete historical stages. The primary transportation corridor was reinforced through interaction with the evolving larger cities in the rubber and tin zones. The self-reinforcement of the network, along with the urban concentration process, and feedback expressed through recurrent or abandoned demand, provide support for a more general model of transportation and city-system development
