On the Sahara Desert map, must you urbanize before building track in your turn?

Posters who read the printed order agree on urbanizing first, while others point to Steam's looser timing and a possible oversight; the designer has not ruled.

Yes, as the rules are written: urbanization comes at the start of the build step, before track. Steam allows urbanizing at any point, and some players think this map meant the two to happen together, but no designer has confirmed that, so the before-build order is the safer reading.
