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

Answer

What can Palma do to reduce inequality between neighbourhoods?

Palma can use a mix of housing policy, transport support, education investment, and help for small businesses. Measures like social housing, tighter holiday-rental rules, better childcare, and lower commuting costs would help residents in weaker districts more directly than broad promises. The most effective approach is likely to be local and targeted rather than one single citywide fix.
