Mallorca's new residential axis: Villages grow, Palma keeps moving

Answer

What problems can come with rapid growth in Mallorca's towns and villages?

Rapid growth can put pressure on land, water, roads, schools and waste systems. Some municipalities struggle to keep up because more homes and residents do not always come with enough funding for infrastructure. It can also change the character of a place when sprawl replaces open land or local agriculture.
