In the 1990s, many of the districts were renovated and projects in the historic quarters were established to modernise those areas, for instance, architectural and patrimonial buildings were renovated, the northern margin of the Tagus was re-purposed for leisure and residential use, the [[Vasco da Gama Bridge]] was constructed and the eastern part of the municipality was re-purposed for [[Expo '98]] to commemorate the 500th anniversary of [[Vasco da Gama]]'s sea voyage to India, a voyage that would bring immense riches to Lisbon and cause many of Lisbon's landmarks to be built.

In 1988, a fire in the historical district of [[Chiado]] saw the destruction of many 18th-century [[Pombaline style]] buildings. A series of restoration works has brought the area back to its former self and made it a high-scale shopping district.
