    Bilbao remained a small city confined to the Casco Viejo area until the 19th century. In the early 19th century, the population was around 10,000. During the second half of the 19th century, Bilbao rapidly industrialized and became an important center of iron, steel, and shipbuilding as the nearby iron deposits and coastal transport of coal from Asturias fueled growth. By the early 20th century, Bilbao's industrial growth led to expansion of services like commerce and finance as the population increased.

    Until the era of industrialisation Bilbao remained a small city and its area confined to the Casco Viejo (Fig. 3). In the early 19th century, it had a population of not more than 10,000. In the second half of the 19th century, Bilbao rapidly developed into an industrial city, based upon the exploitation of nearby iron ore deposits. Coal was transported by sea along the coast from the region of Asturias to fuel the industrial revolution. Iron, steel and shipbuilding industries developed quickly. By the turn of the century, industrial growth was accompanied by the development of major service sector companies, especially in commerce and finance.
