Cut into the Shade: Why Palma's Wall Trees Fell Despite Protests

Answer

Why did residents protest the tree felling at Plaça Llorenç Villalonga?

Residents protested because they felt the decision was rushed and not transparent enough. Many saw the trees as part of the square’s shade, character, and daily life, so the loss felt immediate and personal. The protest was also about trust: people wanted to know whether the city had seriously considered other options.
