Answer

Can Palma require developers to help pay for infrastructure?

Yes, but only if the city writes clear obligations into the planning and contract terms. Possible conditions include contributions to public transport, cycle paths, green spaces and other local infrastructure, so growth does not fall entirely on public budgets. Without binding rules, the housing projects may add pressure without paying enough toward the costs they create.
