Palma's Harbor: 13 Applicants, 5 in the Running – What the Selection Really Means

Answer

Why is Palma's harbor master plan such a sensitive issue for the city and the island?

Palma’s harbor is not just a waterfront; it is also part of the island’s logistics network, with ferry services, freight handling, and other essential operations. Any redesign has to protect those functions while also improving public access and the connection between the port and the city. That makes the master plan a practical question, not just an architectural one.
