Answer

Why does the loss of shade matter so much in Palma squares?

In Palma, shade is not just a comfort issue; it affects how people actually use a square day to day. Trees make it easier for older residents, children and anyone spending time outdoors in warmer months. When trees disappear, the space can feel less livable even if the removal was justified for safety reasons.
