As expected, the Nou Llevant neighborhood has become the flagship of the new Palma, which is the one that could emerge from urban planning regulations that disregard rural land and promote development without much, if any, consideration. New, in any case, there will be little: if anything, it will be a larger, more expensive, more crowded, more unlivable city, with increasingly blatant and difficult-to-bridge social class divides. As is often said about Palma these days: a city with all the drawbacks of large cities, and none, or very few, of their advantages. A city that over the last half-century has grown haphazardly, ignoring planning (when it has existed), at the mercy of speculative pressures, always under the tutelage and demands of the tourism sector.
