Answer

Why are vacant buildings in Palma’s old town such a concern?

Vacant buildings can leave a visible gap in the daily life of a street or square, especially in a central place like Palma’s old town. They may reduce ground-floor activity, weaken the local atmosphere and make the area feel less lived-in. When the building is historic, the concern is also about whether its public value is being preserved or lost.
