Rethinking Portixol: More Green, Fewer Parking Spaces — But at What Cost?

Answer

Could the Portixol project in Mallorca improve access for pedestrians and older residents?

It could, if the redesign is done well. A wider pedestrian zone, shaded seating and better step-free routes would make the waterfront easier to use for older people and anyone with limited mobility. The concern is whether accessibility is treated as a real design priority rather than just a visual feature.
