On the Sahara Desert map, can you Urbanize after building track in the same turn?

Base rules say Urbanization comes first, but official-side posters suspect the map intended otherwise; no confirmed ruling.

As written, no: the base rules put Urbanization before track building. But a publisher and a designer-tagged poster suspect the Sahara map was meant to allow them together, and no designer has confirmed it. Play it Urbanization-first unless your group agrees otherwise.
