Amari has over twice the population of Texas but less than five percent of its electrical power generating capacity.  Despite that, Amari is still the regional leader in the depth and quality of its infrastructure.  The key features are the port of Mombasa and the ''Northern Victoria Corridor (NOVIC)'' connecting Mombasa to Nairobi and points west.  The corridor also serves the resource-rich Lake Victoria region, with a spur to Kisumu and a direct line to Kampala.  Nairobi is also the region’s major air hub for international trade and tourism.
 
 
 
Amari wishes to maintain its advantage over Kujenga’s port of Dar Es Salaam and the ''Dar Es Salaam-Kigoma (DARGOMA)'' Corridor.  It also understands the importance of streamlined border and customs control to regional security and economic development. 
 
 
Despite abundant petroleum, geothermal, and hydroelectric resources, most Amaris depend on wood or charcoal for cooking, and oil lamps for lighting.  Even those living in cities serviced by electric or water distribution grids are not necessarily connected to those systems.

Amari’s population is most dense between Nairobi and Kampala.  The rural east and its inland border with Kujenga are more sparsely populated than the western rural areas north of Lake Victoria.  Nairobi and Kampala are the largest and most developed cities; Kisumu, the historic port city of  on Lake Victoria, is Amari’s capital. 
 
 
'''Nairobi (Pop. 4,089,493 - 6,963/km2)'''
 
 
[[File:Nairobi.png|thumb|left|Nairobi Land Use Diagram]]
 
Nairobi has grown from a rural cattle market to the regional economic power.  Dense low-rise residential areas and intermixed light industry surround a modern, high-rise, closed-block city center.  Over half of Nairobi’s inhabitants live in informal settlements, e.g. Kibera, Starehe, Kamukunji, and Makadara. These areas are more than twice as dense as the city average.  This pattern is similar in the other large Amari cities.  The city limits also include a 29 thousand acre national park.
 
 
Open space comprises the largest land use in Nairobi (47.8%), followed by residential (15.1%), and national park (13.9%).  Land use changes include: i) soil rich farmland to residential area, ii) grassland to residential area, iii) detached house to apartment or office, and iv) river bank to informal settlements.
 
 
'''Kampala (Pop. 1,603,584 - 8,436/km2)'''
 
 
[[File:Kampala.jpg|thumb|Kampala Urbanization Patterns]]
 
With a greater metropolitan population over 3 million, Kampala is the largest city on Lake Victoria, as well as one of the oldest.  Kampala’s adjacent Port Bell is the major northern terminus of the Lake Victoria Rail Ferry, serving western Amari and landlocked states to the north and west.  Kampala is also the commerce and cultural center of western Amari, its importance increasing since the Albertine Basin oil discoveries. 
 
 
Similar to Nairobi, Kampala has a relatively modern city center surrounded by dense high-rise residential blocks.  Kampala is built on a series of hills. Higher income residences and business occupy the high ground, surrounded by lower income low-rise closed blocks.  Dense shantytowns and informal settlements in turn surround these blocks.
 
 
'''Mombasa (Pop. 1,156,632 - 5,281/km2)'''
 
 
[[file:Mombasa_Const_Patterns_Map.jpg|thumb|left|Mombasa Urbanization Patterns]]
 
 
 
Established as an Arab trading port in 16th Century, Mombasa retains much of its old city center in a small urban core on Mombasa Island.  This dense random construction of two and three story stone and wood structures includes some early 20th Century closed block construction. Mombasa has neither the infrastructure endowment, nor the widespread slums associated with Nairobi or Kampala.
 
 
Most commerce and industry surrounds the port of Mombasa on island’s west side, and across Kilindini Harbor.  The western suburbs include Amari’s principal naval base and a large dual-use airport. The east and north sides of Mombasa contain mostly low density, low-rise residences and resort properties.  The southeastern community of Likoni is a mainly high-density semi-organized shantytown.
 
 
'''Arusha (Pop. 542,064 - 5,635/km2)'''
 
 
[[File:Arusha_Urbanization_Map.jpg|thumb|Arusha Urbanization Patterns]]
 
Arusha is the gateway city for Amari’s significant safari and ecotourism industry, with Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro to the east, and the Ngorogoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge to the west. 
 
Arusha is served by a spur rail line from Dar Es Salaam, with plans for direct connection to Nairobi and points west.  The easterly rail line to Voi is abandoned.
 
 
The construction pattern is mostly closed block, with a modest mid-rise city core.  The surrounding commercial areas resemble more strip construction than closed block core periphery.
 
 
'''Kisumu (Pop. 552,064 - 850/km2)'''
 
[[File:Kisumu_urbanization_map.jpg|thumb|left|Kisumu Urbanization Patterns]]
 
Kisumu was an early colonial rival to Kampala. It retained its status as Amari’s capital, though it does not have the infrastructure or economy of Kampala.  Kisumu is a spur of off the Nairobi-Kampala section of the Northern Victoria Corridor, linked by paved but secondary roads and rail. It is also a northern terminus of the Lake Victoria rail ferry with service to Kampala in the west, and Mwanza, Ziwa to the south.  The construction pattern is mostly shantytown, split evenly between dense informal settlement and more scattered lots with tiny farm plots.  Otherwise, the city center is close orderly block construction with an east-west strip area following the B1 Kisumu-Busia main road.

==Electricity Generation and Transmission==
 
[[DATE Africa Regional Infrastructure#Regional Electricity Generation and Transmission]]
 
[[File:Regional_Power_Grid.jpg|thumb|Amari Major Power Stations and Transmission Lines (Placeholder)]]
 
 
Amari currently has over 60 operational power plants generating 4,120 Mw. Another 2,700 Mw of capacity is either under construction or planned.  None of the operating plants are over 250 Mw, and over 60 percent are under 100 Mw. For reference, the average American coal-fired power plant generates over 500Mw.
 
 
Amari generates more than half of its electricity from a combination of hydroelectric and geothermal sources, exporting modest surplus power to Nyumba and Ziwa.  Over half of the urban population has access to electricity, though the grid fails to keep up with peak demands. The lack of peak generating capacity, and transmission line repair and expansion account for most power outages.
 
 
Potential natural gas deposits on the Indian Ocean coast present opportunities for Amari to convert coal-fired plants or increase its generating capacity if an economical transmission system is in place.

Most of the Amari drains into Lake Victoria, which in turn drains into the Nile; with the remainder draining mainly to the Indian Ocean via the Tana River, bordering Nyumba.  Amari, Nyumba and Ziwa are also members of the Nile Basin Initiative, an intergovernmental organization chartered to address access, irrigation, hydroelectric power, and environmental issues related to the Nile.  The international agreement restricts upstream irrigation and hydroelectric projects, which must be approved by the downstream members. 
 
 
Unfortunately, less than a quarter of the population has access to household piped water, with most relying on standposts, wells, or boreholes.  Increasing urbanization rates are dropping the proportion of city residents with access to piped water networks.  In rural communities, over forty percent rely on lakes or streams for water. 
 
 
Most agriculture relies on rain, with less than four percent of the potential acreage under irrigation.

Traditional and improved latrines make up the largest sanitation method. In some rural districts, less than forty percent of the population can access improved sanitation. While major cities can claim 50 percent sewer connection rates, the average city sewer reaches less than twenty percent of its population.

Amari classifies its roads with the standard trunk, secondary, tertiary or track designations.  Most trunk roads are hard-surfaced except for those on the coast north of Mombasa and east of the Moyale-Nairobi north-south artery.  On average, thirty percent of these roads are in poor condition, requiring rehabilitation beyond routine maintenance.  Most improved roads are traversable in all weather conditions.  The vast network of undesignated rural roads and tracks comprise 150-200% of government road networks and carry up to one third of agricultural output.
 
 
Traffic on roads outside of the cities is sparse, mostly commercial trucks.

Amari is the regional leader in railway improvement.  New standard gauge rail runs from Mombasa to Nairobi, with the Nairobi-Kampala segment currently under construction.  Current construction is mostly financed and built by Olvanese companies. General freight and container traffic are the main users, however, the government expects passenger use to increase as fares and travel times become competitive with bus transport.
 
 
Major rail yards are located in Mombasa, Nairobi, and Kampala.  Mombasa and Kampala's rail lines run directly to the port facilities.

Amari has three ports on the African coastline (Mombasa, Malindi, Kilifi), one on Pemba Island (Chake Chake), and four on Lake Victoria (Kampala, Entebbe, Kisumu, Bukakata). Only Mombasa and Kilifi can service military logistics ships pierside.  Only Mombasa and Kampala have rail facilities.  The smaller ports transfer cargo from anchored ships via barge, making them compatible with Joint Logistics Over The Shore (JLOTS) operations.  Consult [http://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/StaticFiles/NAV_PUBS/SD/Pub171/Pub171bk.pdf NGA Sailing Directions Pub. 171] and the [https://msi.nga.mil/NGAPortal/MSI.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=msi_portal_page_62&pubCode=0015 World Port Index] for detailed port information.
 
 
'''Additional Information'''
 
 
'''Mombasa'''
 
 
More Info...
 
 
'''''Summarize Minor Port Info.'''''
 
 
'''Shimoni'''
 
Shimoni is situated off Wasini Island in South Coast. The port is rather small and has limited connectivity to the hinterland. The present port is at a distance of about 4 km along the access channel to the open sea and the area is secure for navigation and fishing activities. Shimoni, with current volumes of approximately 10,000 metric tons, by far is the largest port of all coastal small ports in the field of coastal trade. Destinations are mainly Pemba Island and Zanzibar. Based on general economic growth, the port has the potential to accommodate increasing coastal trade volumes. 
 
 
'''Malindi'''
 
Malindi Port is situated in Malindi town 120km north of Mombasa. The Port consists of a pier which is in a sound condition and is used as a landing site in the unsheltered sea mainly to serve local fish industry. However, as a result of accretion, the breaking zone has shifted to the pier’s fish landing site. There is a jetty for fish landing on the beach handling approximately 1,250MT per year and 8,000 tourist boat moves.
 
 
'''Ngomeni'''
 
Ngomeni has a potential to develop as a second port of Amari. The Port is currently handling about 550MT of fish, which is about 1,500kg per day. It also handles about 1,500 MT of coastal trade merchandise comprising various goods. Ngomeni Port has a natural sheltered harbor with good nautical access, 20 km North of Malindi. There is an all-weather road to the Mombasa Malindi highway. KPA is planning to acquire land around Ngomeni area and construct a proper jetty for fish handling and coastal trade, with potential to develop into a major port and possibly a Special Economic Zones.
 
 
'''Kiunga'''
 
Currently there is a Jetty at the Kiunga Village, which although being used has a poor access to the sea. The port handles about 2,500MT of fish per year, with coastal trade amounting to 1000MT of mainly cotton and coconut. KPA is planning to acquire 20acres of for the development of the port into a proper fishing port to serve the local fishing sector. It will also dredge the channel and build a Jetty that has good sea access that can serve Gilinetters and the coastal trade, put up administration buildings, a storage facility for the fish.

===Oil Pipeline, Processing and Terminals===
 
Amari’s current petroleum structure was designed to import crude oil to Mombasa for refining and transfer to the interior via a 14in pipeline generally following the  Northern Victoria Corridor.  A 12in line from Eldoret to Kampala is under construction.  The Mombasa refinery is idle and refined product imports have replaced crude. 
 
 
A planned refinery in Hoima will process part of the newly discovered oil reserves in western Amari.  The complex network of regional customers, foreign investors and public-private partnerships mean that the government will need to consider alternatives to an all-Amari pipeline project.  Current proposals envision a southerly pipeline on the west side of Lake Victoria, transiting Kujenga and perhaps Ziwa, and a northeast spur to connect with Nyumba’s "Lamu Port Express",LAPEX, project.

==Petroleum Minerals (Move to Econ)==
 
Amari ranks third in sub-Saharan petroleum wealth with over 2 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in the Albertine Basin, just behind the Gulf of Guinea and Angola.  Foreign producers want to export crude via Mombasa, while many Amaris would rather refine and distribute products to satisfy a growing regional demand.
 
Amari mostly extracts large volumes of low-cost industrial ores and commodities.  It also has a small-scale steel processing capability.
