Palma plans 3,600 homes — Opportunities, risks and the big question of infrastructure

Answer

What are the main risks of Palma’s housing expansion?

The biggest risks are that the city adds homes faster than it adds schools, transport and utilities, or that the new flats do not stay accessible to the people who need them most. There is also concern about losing green areas and putting more pressure on existing neighborhoods through traffic and rising living costs. The success of the plan depends on careful limits, clear rules and real oversight.
