Introduction

The World Bank has just turned down a proposed route for a highway across Africa from Tunis, Tunisia, to Cape Town, South Africa. Your group is requested to submit to the World Bank a proposal for a better route for the highway. Students will study a series of maps, data, and atlases (and other references), to explain why the first route was turned down, create a new and improved route with reasoned support for it.
