The new General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) for Ariany maintains the urban land use as defined by current regulations and does not contemplate any expansion for residential or tourist use. In fact, the only planned growth is the increase in land specifically designated for infrastructure or public services. This was all made public at the official ceremony where the President of the Council of Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, presented the documentation for the new urban development plan to the Mayor of Ariany, Joan Ribot. The City Council will now issue its initial approval. The Island Director of Urban Planning and Municipal Development, María José Frau, also attended the event. The designated public service areas are slated to include municipal facilities such as public parking, school and sports facilities, green spaces, and a pedestrian connection. It is worth noting that this pedestrian walkway has long been requested by the City Council and will connect the town center, the cemetery, the recycling center, and the Ses Torres roundabout.
