Answer

How can Mallorca grow without losing farmland and open landscape?

A more compact style of development would help protect agricultural land and green corridors on Mallorca. That means building more carefully in existing urban areas, improving public transport and setting clearer land-use rules. Without that, growth can keep spreading outward and gradually reduce the island’s open spaces.
