Avenidas in Conflict: New Residential Building, Old Facade — and Many Open Questions

Answer

Why do residential projects in Palma’s old town often face so much controversy?

Because they sit at the intersection of housing demand, heritage protection, and neighbourhood character. Residents may support more homes, but worry about height, density, traffic, and the loss of the street’s historic feel. In Palma, that balance is especially sensitive in central areas where every plot can affect the surrounding streetscape.
