Many Europeans (mostly Spaniards and Italians, but also numbers from Central Europe) immigrated to the city in the early twentieth century. In 1908, 30% of the city’s 300,000 residents were foreign-born. The city proliferated during that decade, with new neighbourhoods being established and many separate communities being annexed to the city, including the Villa del Cerro, Pocitos, Prado, and Villa Colón. The Rodó Park and the Estadio Gran Parque Central, which acted as urban development poles, were also built. Uruguay experienced massive societal transformations in the early twentieth century, with ramifications, particularly in metropolitan areas.
