Palma expands plans for new Botanical Garden — island idyll or infrastructure problem?

Answer

Why is Palma’s botanical garden plan being debated as more than just a green project?

Because the site is expected to combine nature, events and possibly animal facilities, it is no longer just a question of planting trees and flowers. The project also affects mobility, neighbourhood life, resource use and long-term operating costs on Mallorca. That is why many people see it as an urban planning issue as much as a garden project.
