really agree with what you said about doing whatever you like with your city! i got an old lego alien conquest set (7051) and i was planning to just take it apart. but then... i looked at my lego city... and now there is an alien invasion in my lego city and there are Minifigures running away and pointing at the aliens in fear. i love it so much and it really does show that any lego set can be used in your lego city!

Ive been following your channel for a little bit now and I too have a limited space for my legos but your city inspired me to start building my own.

It's insane how much you've been able to cram in one room!

Really nice summary of building a city, especially about limitations

I’m so glad there are so many girls into lego, lol makes me feel better when I’m waiting in line between two families at the lego store.

For me you have one of the prettiest and most interesting Lego cities. 😃

Some great advice there and I’m still blown away by how much you’ve got in your “box” room. I am certainly inspired by this to do something similar with my “box” room once it gets vacated.

Yay was really looking forward to this video!! Also I can’t stress this enough, your city is my favourite on KZfaq.

Thank-you so much for this video. My 7 year old had been struggling with his city and space not being good enough. This has helped him to see that he can start with what he has and enjoy it anyways.

You're City looks really good have a great weekend Johanna 💜

I really like what you've done with your space! I'm still trying to figure out how to expand my city with my limited space.

Loving the positivity this video offers as it’s a great way to start the weekend!

Hi I can’t wait to move out into my own property have one or two rooms for my Lego collection thank you for your input it’s good to hear what how people do what they do with their Lego and see what’s the best option

My lego city is like yours on shelves we can better see the details and what matters are the details you add no matter how your buildings are stored... you have been a source of inspiration for me! A French follower 😊

I honestly would love to build a City but I just don’t have the space sadly otherwise I would give it a go, and great vid!

I actually prefer this city over Bricksie's. I agree with your opinion on limitations. Bricksie's city gives me a headache. I feel like an "anything and everything" approach sort of kills the charm, which is what Jang and Bricksie have. But they are talented and I am imagine for them it's less about the end product and the massive display, but more about the process of building. But yes, love your take on limitations and have too much space to fill.

I'm building a city in the top shelf of my wardrobe. Would love to have one on a table, but its impossible with pets around! 😽

Love the positivity & good vibes. 😀👍⭐

“If I wasn’t blind this would be much easier” Story of my life! 🤣

Flying dragon transport. Sign me up 👍

Great video!!! With a small space you can also do a lot of fun things!!! You are using your space verry wel!!! Did you ever watched small Brick city?

I really want to start a city once I have room for it!

Great video 👏🏼😍 thank you ! Love your city and your energy and happiness about Lego ! Looking forward to more 🤗

Your city is beautiful. Very helpful to people who have small space. Alot of other Afols Lego Cities are too big for people like me with small space.

Love this informative video. Gives me great inspiration. Puts it all into prospective. Thankyou for for taking the time to do this

ive not really built many lego city sets mainly just harry potter but maybe someday in the future! they look really cool and detailed!

I just want to say that your city videos have been really inspirational to me, especially given the limited space you've been working with. I love the fact that your city has many levels, or that in some parts there's an entire side of the shelf dividing the street in two. It just proves your point that any amount of space is good enough and will help getting creative. Like that MOC building you did from the noodle shop, so that it could fit in one of the dead space. Thanks for all the advice and bright ideas you've been sharing over the past year!

I’m thinking of starting and your video is very helpful. Thanks.

Your blog is so cool and I love your city at different levels

A city built only on boat hulls would be pretty cool! 🚢 Would be an interesting project for a Lego convention/exhibition.

I love the verticality to your layout!

I need this mantra ❤ your city is so so nice

Thanks, very good tips!

Terrific advice! Start small, be creative with the space you have - limitations are part of the creative process, and above all else, have fun. Doing your own thing is what matters. Don’t feel like you have to copy someone else’s vision. You know what you like - so experiment and let the inspiration just happen as you go. Happy building :-)

This was so helpful thanks ❤

Great advice to have the freedom to explore your imagination about your city theme, I am working on a space city using some city sets

I REALLY love the way you’ve set up your city- I don’t have a lot of space, so mine will probably look a bit more like yours- but what I especially loved was seeing the overhead view of all of your details, it looks amazing! I think Harry Potter lego sets are somehow super addictive- like, gateway lego sets.. bc I truly only collected the 2010 wave (as an adult, and only bc I am obsessed with HP and at the time I was about to have spine surgery & knew I was going to be bored sitting around & had a stepson who was a lego genius- so I figured I’d have help- which I did.. thankfully!) but.. sometime last year, a friend of mine texted me a picture of the Umbridge’s Encounter set- and I said “I don’t think I have that one- I don’t remember it..” and that is when she told me there was a new wave of HP lego sets out…. Fast forward a year, and I’ve gotten into modulars, city, ninjago, Monkie Kid (I love your Ramen Shop Moc & intend to build it- so THANK YOU in advance for that!).. and pretty much everything in between. So, again, I blame Harry Potter sets for my addiction.. I’ve even purchased Friends sets just bc they were on clearance & figured I could use the pieces. And 4plus sets bc “they have printed pieces”- it goes on and on.. so I get it. Your city is gorgeous- I love that there is now a 3rd level! I can’t wait to see it!

There's some affordable off brand buildings on Amazon too Because brand Lego can get expensive for the larger buildings sets.

I love your city. By far my favourite one to be honest. It’s something I can follow along in my own city and don’t get frustrated that mine isn’t a huge one and it’s ok not to have all the ridiculously expensive old modulars. I don’t have the space limitations only my creativity! Your honest positive videos I look forward to all the way from Australia.

This arrangement of your city seemed strange to me at first, but after listening to what you were saying about the limitations etc, I find that you have a very rational and healthy approach👍 and yes, there might be a LEGO master-piece city's out there, but hey! With lack of space or money, the imagination and creativity is all we need!❣

Tfs your tips and thoughts Johanna! Your city is really unique to well most everything else I’ve seen on YT where people have lots of table tops and space. Love those but like you I don’t have that, so I really appreciate to know about other options. My city plans are super random at this point as I buy sets that mean something to me, not specifically a theme. Like as a child I loved medieval sets and I would love to start with them and get the blacksmith set and some Ninjago dragons, a forest, play with mountains and caves as landscaping, add Winnie the Pooh’s house in there plus HP sets that I have, etc. I love greenery and to work with that will be so relaxing for me. But sadly with current global circumstances, my local Lego store closed their PAB wall as they don’t want people touching the bricks, so sad. So hopefully that opens up again in future. Have a lovely weekend 🤗💖

I think you will like the x2 or x3 31131 half baseplate corner building that's going around, looks amazing and would suit your city IMO. I love your city FYI, these nook space style cities are much more interesting and cosy. The mini figs can traverse the levels via a chairlift or pulley system, hehe ☺️ It would be nice if Lego made half modulars and sold them on their own. They would be cheaper of course, but what I like about them is that you can have more of them with different facades filling in a smaller space, which makes it look much busier, rather than having big buildings taking up all the space with a single facade. That's why I have multi facade modulars in my Lego Street (not city due to space limitations ☺️) like the detectives office, police building, assembly square and then the bookshop half's to break up the street even more. It makes less look more. I'd like to add the Boutique hotel next as well as the x3 31131 building.

I think you might have done a recent rebuild, but I was thinking it would be a little humorous to have sone mini figures scaling ip or down the shelf posts, or via a ladder. Or, even have some large portal type doors at on end to magicslly transport people around?

great videos

Ooohh! Did you say tree house city?! That would be epic!! Someone needs to do this!! 😄 Hey are you going convert that shelf pillar into a falling waterfall?!! ..with water flowing from the top shelf (open up a tunnel under the brickbank for it to line up) and ends up flowing (build a little bridge for the red walk path to go over the flow of the water too....) into the water in the City Gardens! 😄 A vertical gondola that raises and lowers (suspended using twine as cables that lift (no need to build a vertical elevator-like structure that takes up too much space--only the lifting structure at the very top shelf)...maybe even motorized!) minifigures to the different levels would be kinda neat Just far out ideas that popped in my head 😂

You can building some elevators for minifigures to get on second shelf and third shelf.

Number one thing you need to start a lego city is money. 🤭🤣🤣

Honestly some of the buildings from the marvel and dc sets are a great way to jumpstart a lego city. Sure a lot of them are banks. bases and street scenery, but it's the impression of it is which what matters the most.

I'm the absolute brokest of broke, but i want to make a Lego city, even if its a tiny one with like 5 buildings, so my plan is to go very unusual with what I use, lots of cheap sets you wouldn't think would work for a city, they're going in mine, and I also have no issue with using knockoff bricks, that will also cut costs a significant amount

if including trains, do them first. If your city is well established, its a nightmare. I had to rip up two tables and completely start again to realise my vision, buts thats the also the fun!

What is the building to the left of the patisserie? I know it’s a MOC, but I can’t work out which one. 😄

I got into Lego after I saw some Lego games on steam and after watching KZfaq collectors I really wanted to buy something. And guess what I got... Assembly square lmao

Were did you say you can buy bricks from please I'm new an looking to start a city
