I love developmental stories like this, which highlights the way in which the development of infrastructure can be associated with improved living standards in all sorts of ways. In this World Bank clip, not only is the transformative effect of the railway corridor for the Kenyan economy highlighted but the improved living standards for those who live alongside its tracks is also made clear.
