€624 Million for Palma: Visions, Construction Sites — and the Outstanding Bill

Answer

Why are people in Palma worried about maintenance costs after new projects?

Because new public spaces and transport systems do not run themselves. Squares need care, buses need charging and repair, and public areas need ongoing staffing and upkeep, so a city that only pays for construction can end up with a second bill later.
