Also pedestrian/bike roads (8-12 wide cobblestone or whatever) can help condense the city where cars don't really, truly need to go. Also might be cheaper to have that light blue bike path than endless roads and allows you to use road plates as spacers, tower/shop rooves and back wall fillers! :D
its interesting to see various buildings in various spots where it fits and kind of not but least is different as well. been trying do that with my own lego city when time permits.
Vancuver style Point Towers are a good way to fill in the middle of shop blocks. Just take a tower facade build and build it in that middle vacant space. Alpine1 has a few videos on point tower design and MRBookieBoo has good facade ideas!
Awesome stuff! Do you only use genuine Lego pieces for your Lego city build? Why or why not? I’m planning on doing a lego city it’s way cheaper with fake legos obviously…just wondering if it’s still worth doing without genuine legos. Do other TH-camrs have Lego cities with fake legos?
Hi Bob! I certainly use brick building products of any brand as long as they are compatible LEGO knockoffs. Lego city building requires a ton of parts so I prefer to use off-brand parts where I can get away with it as it saves a lot of money over time. LEGO bricks are the best quality of any product, so a lot of people only use official LEGO, but for me, I just want to build a city as quickly and cheaply as possible so I'll use anything. Tip 5 of my video on how to build a lego city on a budget recommends some lego city building products that i've used that aren't actually lego products. Feel free to check it out! and good luck on BUILDING YOUR CITY!!! :D th-cam.com/video/nF9awZCThy8/w-d-xo.html
I just spotted one of the sets I have behind you. Cool blue building- creator set- cake shop toy/ model set shop and flower/ gift shop. I don't have the set number on me.
the part of the city where you have the harry potter sets and which has a small park in front of it reminded me a bit of jackson square in new orleans, maybe you can draw inspiration for your city from that type of square, the name of that type of square is: Plaza de armas.
Eliminate some of the roads. One, if your city is surpose to be a green one you should aim to reduce traffic as much as possible. Two, you will gain more space for buildings, increase that land use density. Third, look at how Dutch cities approach sustainable neighbourhoods, bike-lanes, pedestrians given priority of vechales, connecting alleyways, trees and urgen greenery , mixed use between small commercial and residential (looks like you have a lot of that going on already)
Lastly, one more dpace saving tip. Go with an urban trolley car / tram. By far and away tbe greenest, most sustainable public transport option for any city. That would replace your rail line and make use of the roadways for the tram route.
really appreciate the thoughtful comments. I'm hoping to get a train soon which will alleviate some of these problems by providing accessible transportation. Really appreciate your thoughts!!
Hi! I would not bloc the back of the lifeguard stand, only would use fence elements, or a two bricks high wall. The grey building should be turned into a police station, but maybe I would decrease the width of it, in order to get a place for another building. Apart from these I like your plans! 🙂
@@NewBrickerton take your time I’ve loved Lego since I was born almost literally, and your videos have helped me come up with a lot of ideas for my city.
That was a creative opening. Good job.
Thank you Freddy!

This is genius. I may have to utilize this to free up some space in the city.

I loved this intro!!!! Haha the rest is still well done haha.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the intro!
The hospital is actually only like $70 and it’s definitely worth it.
You could change black tiles of city centre to brown
This was a really good idea, thinking about doing this here soon. Thank you!

I love this. I think a facade tower would be perfect for that section, I've got a an additional mini modular to put in there.
When I watched you first time I was shocked to see the subs.so I subbed . kepp it up,and your channel is amazing too.
That's very kind, thank you so much and welcome to the community!!
I'm guessing your from Missouri as well. Noticed the shirt you have on.
Yes! I'm from KC. Glad to meet you!

@@NewBrickerton thank you! That’s helpful
Making a giant creator toystore sounds like a good idea to me, Could be nice if you would build such stuff on maybe some weekend livestreams
That's a good idea. I hope to do a live stream some day. Thanks for your support!
I personally think it looks cool that you leave the back open.
How many friends sets do you have in your city?
I am still apprehensive about using friends sets.
I just spotted one of the sets I have behind you. Cool blue building- creator set- cake shop toy/ model set shop and flower/ gift shop. I don't have the set number on me.
Love your shit keep it up
Thank you so much!
I want more videos
I'm working on posting more. Thanks so much for all the love!

thank you so much!!
Awesome content !
Glad you think so!

That's fascinating, I looked it up and I love this! I do like to take inspiration from real life. Thank you for the info!

Thank you for your input! I really like the idea of the police station. Appreciate the comment!
Making the big Hogwarts Modular would be an awesome idea!
I'm gonna start working on it soon! Thank you man!!
W
thank you!
Can you make a video describing what all the sets are called and if a moc go into detail about your thoughts about the creation
I'm working on updating the city now, I hope to post more videos soon and I will definitely give another full tour!
