Rua da Prata....2022


It was once a thriving commercial street for Lisbon's residents. With the emerging of vast shopping centers in the 80's and 90's, traditional commerce in the city center went into free fall... and it seems that it still hasn't hit bottom. Only at Rua da Prata could I count 28 definitely closed shops. In the parallel street, Rua do Ouro, there were 22 closed shops.

Black crust....


Until the 1980s, this was a common phenomenon in large cities where entire facades could be covered with a black crust. Since catalytic converters became mandatory on new cars, the quality of the air has improved and the problem has gradually become almost a rarity in European cities.
