Steps to Building a Lego City - How to Build a Lego City

The fun of the Lego City collection is that you can literally build your own world. There are Lego sets that have to do with everything concerning cities - airport, vehicles, police, fire department, stores, restaurants, houses, and all he characters that go with everything. In other words, the only thing that limits you is your own imagination and perhaps your wallet...

But how do you build your own Lego city? That's exactly what this page is about. BTW - Lego has very few sets that incorporate a town plan but I did manage to find one for sale. :-)

Next is to figure out where the larger of your buildings will go, like skysrapers and police headquarters. If you have a monorail set, this is also a good time to set it up. Your goal is to create the skyline of your new city!
