Two Palmas in One City: How Money Divides Streets and Lives

Answer

What is everyday life like in lower-income Palma neighbourhoods such as Pere Garau?

In lower-income parts of Palma, everyday life is often shaped by rent pressure, larger households, and less financial margin. Local businesses may depend more on regular residents, and when those customers are squeezed, bakeries, small shops, and workshops can struggle too. The effects are not only economic; they also show up in schools, childcare, and the general sense of stability in the neighbourhood.
