Everyone is saying to just make the tree bigger, but that might break the scale a bit. Perhaps changing the tree type to more of a coniferous pine tree like you have in the village would allow you to go taller without looking oversized. By the way, I absolutely love the factory. This was one of my favorite episodes so far!
I think when you get around to opening up your museum you should have a 'I Spy' style activity sheet for visitors to try and spot each of your stories. You've put a lot of work into them and it would be a nice addon to your museum to try and draw visitors attention to all that's going on in the city by having them try and see how many they can spot.
That’s a great idea! I like the idea that people other than us viewers can appreciate all the detail work. I had been thinking a museum type display with little spotlights of different sections; I.e platforms with close up pictures that explain the stories and maybe building techniques
I love how you have all these small storys all over the city. Have you ever thought about making a fire departement? And maybe have them help a cat down from a tree.
absolutely, he is by far the greatest and original lego builder ever. Understanding people just buy sets to build a huge city, but he took it to another super high lever.
he addressed this in the video: he says that he left the windows uncovered so that visitors to the lego museum can see the scenes inside some of the buildings
I have seen lego cities before - but none have gone to such lengths as this one.... to even go inside the buildings and see actual rooms-- not to mention the underbelly crime story taking place. It's unreal. To think you did this all yourself is just incredible.
For the Factory windows you can maybe change some of the windowparts from Glas to newspaper covered (like in the Stranger Things set). Just a few that visitors can still take a look trough the windows but just as much to cover up the plantation from the city side
An idea for when this exhibit goes live with visitors: take pictures of all the interiors and have a digital pad in front of the city there people can press on images of houses to get a picture of the interiors, thus getting a more full experience.
1:06 To make the future visitors be able to see inside the factory you could add some windows in the roof which also would give it some more realism as the "plantations" would get sunlight that way. Anyways, i really love this project! Love from Sweden
You could also have a fun mini story with the windows still in place but some ivy pulled aside by a police officer so visitors can see through the windows and it's plausible they didn't cover the windows because the ivy was already covering it
The rocks in front of the cliff is DEFINITELY an upgrade, they are interesting to look at. The tree behind the buildings is also nice, but maybe try a taller or different kind of tree. LOVE the warehouse, it's hilarious and the sliding doors are a nice touch😂
You should add a construction site somewhere! It would be possible to add a lot of detail in it, like diggers, forklifts, workers and maybe even a small crane.
A scyscraper under constraction on the upper floor, that would look lit with metal beams in the air and different floors on different level of completion. You could make a reference to famous historic photo of Nowy Jork workers having lunch atop a Skyscraper (sitting on a beam in the air) :D
Would be fun to have a construction site that is just a half-finished Lego building with no attempt to make it look like a real site, except for some bricks on little pallets.
Maybe in the little back corner behind the building you could add a little community garden? It would be a little hidden from the front view but it could add a little bit more opportunity for storytelling. Also, the second story of the little tower on the factory could maybe act as an office for a mafia boss, who is preparing to make a quick getaway with the police at his door. Love your content!
Man the old factory... the ivy vines, dilapidated brickwork, sliding doors, even the front "entry room tower" this is maybe my favourite building so far even though its so simple! Well done!
Perhaps the "illegal operation" could have a cover story to explain the windows. Such as being a garden centre or plant seller, with this in a backroom or upstairs with skylights.
This is actually a great idea because as it stands right now, the abandoned factory in the middle of town is very conspicuous and doesn't make a lot of sense.
Plant or garden center would be too suspicious since if anyone actually wanted to go to the garden center they wouldn’t be allowed in. Needs to be something that everday people wouldn’t glance an eye at
That factory is absolutely amazing. I love the facade, it's such a good combination of colors. I've never seen a build that so well encapsulates that run-down feeling
I think you should defiantly add the rocks by the cliff, gives it a sense of depth, and breaks up repetition, for the factory windows, try adding some planks to act as "boards" just one per window, maybe two on the big ones, enough to give it a truly abandoned effect, but not enough to obscure the view, I also think you should add a hole to the roof that has been patched with a tarp or a metal plate, and maybe a hole in the wall which has hastily been filled in. Both of these add to the buildings illegal's feel and that it is hiding something. That said, I just feel as if there is something off about the factories location, that it should be wedged between two buildings in a shady corner, not by a ledge overlooking a plaza, that would be valuable real estate in real life and the factory would have long been torn down. My suggestion if to move the factory away from the plazas and build a more crowded industrial area. but do keep it visible because it is a cool feature! Do keep it close to the docks though.
4:35 if you add these small rocks, then you will need to remove the divers, because in places where there are rocks, jumping on sharp spires of rocks is not recommended😁
Adding to that, I thought it would be cool do mimic that water splash effect of the diver but where the water hits the rocks, making it look like a few waves are crashing on them and giving movement, what do you think?
In legoland they have buttons kids can press and something happens in the miniland. You could add the same in your city with the sliding doors, if you don't want to automate them. The buttons always seem to attract lots of kids in legoland
I think the windows should be blocked out with newspapers. Lego has already made a printed window piece for this, and would add to the run down aesthetic.
A solution for the tree: remove the strunk and replace it with some people who are planting some trees. The space beside the strunk is also a little bit empty. There could fit a tree or a little park! You are the best lego builder i have ever known. Keep on going!
You’ve made so much progress since moving the city to the museum location, it might be time to do a city overview video soon! Would love to get a good look at the city in its entirety again!
@@helenafrost3218I'd still love to see a little cave near the cliff jumper, it's absolutely made for that area! Or even just a little wooden boat picking them up.
I think a smoke tower on roof of the smaller section of the factory would work well. It would help break up the large black tiling and give a reason for that area inside to exist.
I think it would be interesting to add doors from the roofs of the houses that are lower into the upper platform, maybe you could also add little backyards to fill the gap
I find myself checking several times during the video to like the video because I really really really really like the city, the video and presenter/builder… all are just so good
My idea for the story is to come up with a few stories to evolve over time. So visitors have a reason to come back and spot the changes.. Example: show the criminals making money, then making some sort of mistake or have a snitch talk to the cops, then hide some undercover cops nearby that people can spot as they spy on the criminals and then eventually the police ready to take the criminals down… etc! For the moon you can have experiments that turn bad and break free, heists and runaway cowboys in the west… etc! Long term stories could be a ton of fun, especially if you post online when the story changes, and give out hint cards to visitors to look for the stories, and then maybe just post the stories online just before you change them so people who didn’t visit can keep up/catch up on the stories. That’s just my idea.
You should add an abandoned/run-down spur to the tram line that leads to the factory. I love it when you include the small details, it seperates the layout from the finished product.
regarding your question at 6:00 in the video about whether to add the tree, I think anything you put there will look like it's growing out of the roof of that building from certain angles. So maybe if you put a sidewalk cafe or an outdoor restaurant on that part of the street (with some umbrellas, people sitting around, a few potted plants, etc), at least from some angles it will just look like that building has a patio on the roof.
I think would be nice build up an other floor of these buildings with the front side on the street with some shops to better integrate that part of the lego city rather than just closing the gap with vegetation. Anyway it look amazing!
For the tree behind the building, you could try making the trunk slightly taller and see if that helps. Or maybe you could see if a pine would look nicer?
Instead of a tree in that gap, you could add a large lamp post that has hanging baskets on it. That way you keep the tree and the colour it adds. But you also don't have something that looks like a bush on the roof.
I definitely say that you keep the smaller rocks in front of the big cliffs. It's a little silly, but if you're looking for contrast, you can make the tops of them white and put a few seagulls on them lol.
Yes add a tree! Also I whould love to see like a big Ferris wheel or observation tower in the city center, or things like a playground or skatepark whould be great!
The three houses in the lower row definitely need one more level up so you dont have that weird moment, that whoever walks on the higher level, has a flat roof on the level of his eyesight (Also could work as a 2nd house entrance from the top)
If your going to motorize the door, could you add a Lego character peeking their head out, they’ed look nervous and cautious, which would hint to people who don’t know that what they are doing is bad
Crazy idea, add a police/swat helicopter attached to an invisible string right above the factory, then add a rope from the helicopter on which police officers are climbing down on top of the factory roof
Maybe instead of a tree you can put a small water fountain / statue to break up the landscape. Also I would recommend instead of adding more rocks on the shoreline you can build a few of those concrete wave breakers with spikes. Hope this helps!
Your Lego city is really coming together in leaps and bounds, I like the hidden inner story of a local Mafiosi operating within the city limits too, adds fascination.
The added rocks sticking out of the water by the diving cliff are perfect! They fill the space in a way that makes the area look more interesting, it adds a vertical variety instead of the rest of the harbor, which is all the same height. It's also more realistic that bluffs and cliffs on a coast have.
If you wanna add some police officers to the build for the factory, maybe put them in one of the houses across the street looking out the windows like it is some operation where they are gathering evidence and surveillance them
I stumbled upon this channel a while back, and I am always so excited when the CZcams algorithm recommends a new episode. I love your passion, I enjoy hearing your thought process and how you are willing to break down and try something new, and the CreAtIvity to think of so many ways to visually represent such complex things! I am not a LEGO person at all to be honest, but I love seeing how you take an ambiguous problem and artfully "solve" it with time, effort, and creativity; all while using LEGO bricks, which are what they are, and it's up to YOU to use them in their intended and unintended ways. I also enjoy hearing about "illegal" builds, because it makes sense how they may not be "proper" and yet they work in the ways you build them. Please keep it going!
The factory and the run down area is great! I think maybe adding a sunroof/see thru glass on top would give a nice idea about what is happening outside.
You should use the window with the glued journal print on the old factory, to stop pedestrians from seeing whats happening inside, it would look more realistic
LOVE the factory! The different colored pieces and the ivy really give it an old look- GREAT job! (and I vote keep the tree above the house- maybe make it a bit taller?)
i think some flat tiles covering the old factory windows would work perfectly! just like in the set 60009 robber's hideout! amazing job as always! love the tree btw
Maybe it would look good if you would change the black under the water, to yellow where the minifigure is swimming😊 4:17. It would also look really cool if you would at a roofwindow to the factory, then the special police force could enter the building via the roof 6:58.
Love the factory!! I have a suggestion, on the gap between the buildings, is there a way you can re-angle the one building and move the buildings back to fill the gap? It would give more space in front for the pizzeria outdoor dining area as it’s still really tight with the train. Just a thought!
I think you should add like windows boarded with wood to give the feel of a more run down place and give more privacy to the operation, also maybe a snitch or a spy which is ruining this operation, maybe filming or looking through the window
Suggestion for an addition near the guy jumping into the water... a figure on a kayak or something similar on the water taking pictures from below. I love the factory building! Might be my favorite one yet!
Maybe you can add roof terrace, where people can have a bbq or a party. Or a roof garden, with a greenhouse where tomatoes can grow and different kind of vegetables? Just an idea. I really like what you do with your city! Keep up the good work!😊
I love coming home from school grabbing a snack and watching a new amazing Brickcrafts upload. The videos are really well-made so that you always understand what’s going on. The LEGO city it self is one of, if not the best I’ve ever seen. Keep up the amazing work!
In one of your interiors, something I like doing for the floors is having tan 1x2 tiles as flooring but one or a couple of them have the sock printing from the lego harry potter sets to make the room look dirty
I’ve just discovered your channel and am completely hooked! I have subscribed and clicked the bell. I look forward to going back through the older videos to get some of the back story. You sir, are a genius 👍🏻👍🏻
I think the rock formations look great, I would definitely add them! And what about making the tree behind the house a bit taller? I think that would fix the problem with the perspective.
I like the additional rocks, the only edges of ocean I’ve been too with rocky cliffs always had a few rocks popping out of the water further ahead. I think keeping it as a tree trunk behind the houses on the upper level is the right call, the last thing someone wants is a root growing through their exterior wall. Maybe to help break up the monotony of the stone work continue some gardens behind the houses, or maybe some bushes/hedges for privacy if the houses have windows up there.
The tree looks great there. I say keep it! If it is an old warehouse maybe add a part of the roof missing or skylights so visitors can see done into it from above.
definitely add those rocks. They look awesome! Also, as to motorizing the doors, it probably wouldn’t be too difficult with some gear racks. You could even hide the motors and stuff in the top part of that empty tower
The layout is always just getting better and better! Hands down this is the best city build in my opinion. Would love to see some rooftop patios' or gardens on some of the buildings if the height and perspective angles suit them!
You should give one of the houses that is in hiding the gap between the layers a door on the back so that the residents can get into the house from the upper level.
1. The windows of the factory could be blacked out/boarded up or some other way to block it for more realism, in such a way it's pretty clear that illegal stuff is being hidden. Then the doors open to reveal what is going on. 2. I like the rocks but maybe not so many, like 2 or 3 only. 3. I love this city, keep it up!
This town is getting every week more amazing!! I love 2 things of today's progresses: 1- Police is going after the weed when the money and the kingpins are in another facility and will probably get away with it. So real. 2- Weed. 😅 For plants of that height I would technically suggest you a amber-ish light @ 4000-2800 Kelvin color simulating HPS bulbs, because the purple-ish colour of last generations LED systems generate less heat, can be placed closer to the leafs and absorb less power but are still unable to penetrate below 50-60 cm resulting in many undergrown buds on the lower branches. I know, it's a Lego diorama, but I know you like to be accurate as possible. 😊
completely understandable. maybe with any premade set you get or as a sort of quick "here's how to build this cool little thing" at some stage. have you considered maybe having a fixed mounted camera overlooking the whole of the city? could make for a cool timelapse/before-after shot? none the less it is quite interesting watching the city grow.@@Brick_Crafts
Since you mentioned that the upper part of the city lacks vegetation you could add in a rooftop garden. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a couple small potted plants. I think having a few small steps to go from the street to the rooftop would be cool. Loving the city so far! The factory is a nice addition. When you add the police raiding the place maybe you could add a guy trying to climb out of a window to escape them? Or you could add a small scene where a police officer is chasing a criminal.
Well done!, one suggestion for the 'fruits' make them 3 green flowers tall hehe. Looks really good, fan was nice touch too! Light is good color for flowering, as orange i think would be too dark!
Could’ve had them growing illegal building techniques tbh
Yeah. That would have been really funny and keep within the “LEGO” theme
Agreed
Yeah to make it a little more pg
@@willvilliger1607 Doesn't really need to be more pg, if there's kids you could always just say they're selling poisonous plants or something
@@Shashu_the_little_Voidling then they'll ask why they farm poisonous plants
Everyone is saying to just make the tree bigger, but that might break the scale a bit. Perhaps changing the tree type to more of a coniferous pine tree like you have in the village would allow you to go taller without looking oversized.
By the way, I absolutely love the factory. This was one of my favorite episodes so far!
Hello mogswamp
That might actually be the solution! I‘ll try that right away! :)

Nice idea
He made already a Fire Station and Police Departement but these were build at the old Layout, he will Probably integrate these builds later sometimes
Firefighters don’t save cats from trees anymore it’s just horses now, I think.

Yes, indeed, really great.
He is, he beat jangbricks
I can only agree!
Small nitpick: I feel like the windows should be boarded up or else anyone outside will be able to look inside and see whats going on.
I think there is printed newspaper window pane pieces maybe just changing a few panes out so you can still see in
Exactly, or at least boarding up the windows behind the build
Yes, and also quite common, a glass roof for the factory, then people can also look in!
I'm not sure if the pieces exist, but maybe changing the clear window panes to transparent yellow ones to show age.
he addressed this in the video: he says that he left the windows uncovered so that visitors to the lego museum can see the scenes inside some of the buildings

Was about to comment on the same thing 😊
I agree. A little extra height to the tree would work. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy watching this all come together
Same, also came to suggest a much higher tree.
Yes
Agreed. And maybe a different building technique, to add a little more variety. Maybe that tree is an exotic tree some citizen planted many years ago.

That makes it more realistic
Or even just get a custom sticker for a "No Diving" sign
It would be more realistic to place them on each side of the small cove.
Definitely add these extra rocks in the water, its way more realistic and better imo

@@ralapeit0 yeah!

some whirly birds or vents possibly.
Super clever addition, with realistic "greens" and a fantastic-looking factory.
On the rockface, you could add a small cave, there could maybe be a story in there too. Maybe half-covered by vines?
The standalone rocks in the sea would be a nice addition, you could even add some seagulls and/or nests among them.

In my opinion, the tree above the building's roof should be higher and the branches should be tilted to the viewer, so the leaves hang above the roof
Add the rocks on the water. And keep the corner tree but make it a tad taller. Or maybe a different type of tree. Love everything. 🥳
For the tree behind the building, you could try making the trunk slightly taller and see if that helps. Or maybe you could see if a pine would look nicer?

Yo imagine if he use lego blue crystals for the "Candy"
you should definitely add a heisenbrick to the scene somewhere, you can use the water tiles as the blue crystal!
I’ve been waiting for an extension to the story and this did not disappoint! Can’t wait for the next additions!
Have illegal immigrants hiding in the factory wait to rob the citizens at night and import other immigrants by boat at the harbour
The three houses in the lower row definitely need one more level up so you dont have that weird moment, that whoever walks on the higher level, has a flat roof on the level of his eyesight (Also could work as a 2nd house entrance from the top)
+1
Haha you don’t live in a hilly place do you?
I think the rocks in the water look wonderful! A seagull or two sitting on the rocks would be a nice detail as well.
This is what a Lego city should look like, fully custom with actually insane builds with story telling!
Its made for younger audiences tho.
They ar not gonna add people cooking meth there.
@@rexyjp1237he did add the weed farm, he’s also got the counterfeit cash factory, 2/5 businesses.
I love the little pallet ! Those kind of little builds really adds more variety, instead of using only barrels or crates
If your going to motorize the door, could you add a Lego character peeking their head out, they’ed look nervous and cautious, which would hint to people who don’t know that what they are doing is bad
Crazy idea, add a police/swat helicopter attached to an invisible string right above the factory, then add a rope from the helicopter on which police officers are climbing down on top of the factory roof
Maybe instead of a tree you can put a small water fountain / statue to break up the landscape. Also I would recommend instead of adding more rocks on the shoreline you can build a few of those concrete wave breakers with spikes. Hope this helps!
Your Lego city is really coming together in leaps and bounds, I like the hidden inner story of a local Mafiosi operating within the city limits too, adds fascination.
You should add a terrified face to the guy in the factory door
It will look like he’s nervous that the visitors are looking
The added rocks sticking out of the water by the diving cliff are perfect! They fill the space in a way that makes the area look more interesting, it adds a vertical variety instead of the rest of the harbor, which is all the same height. It's also more realistic that bluffs and cliffs on a coast have.
I think you should add a small waterfall in the crevice of the rock work by the cliff diver. Would add some nice contrast to the dark rock face.
A waterfall would be lit!
If you wanna add some police officers to the build for the factory, maybe put them in one of the houses across the street looking out the windows like it is some operation where they are gathering evidence and surveillance them
I stumbled upon this channel a while back, and I am always so excited when the CZcams algorithm recommends a new episode. I love your passion, I enjoy hearing your thought process and how you are willing to break down and try something new, and the CreAtIvity to think of so many ways to visually represent such complex things! I am not a LEGO person at all to be honest, but I love seeing how you take an ambiguous problem and artfully "solve" it with time, effort, and creativity; all while using LEGO bricks, which are what they are, and it's up to YOU to use them in their intended and unintended ways. I also enjoy hearing about "illegal" builds, because it makes sense how they may not be "proper" and yet they work in the ways you build them. Please keep it going!
The attention to detail is what makes this build so very good
The factory and the run down area is great! I think maybe adding a sunroof/see thru glass on top would give a nice idea about what is happening outside.
You should use the window with the glued journal print on the old factory, to stop pedestrians from seeing whats happening inside, it would look more realistic
and for the interior lighting you could design roof windows
I love the rocks in the water, but your cliff diver is headed right for them!
For the old factory you should add wood planks over the windows to give a run down and allow some light inside!
LOVE the factory! The different colored pieces and the ivy really give it an old look- GREAT job! (and I vote keep the tree above the house- maybe make it a bit taller?)
i think some flat tiles covering the old factory windows would work perfectly! just like in the set 60009 robber's hideout! amazing job as always! love the tree btw
Maybe it would look good if you would change the black under the water, to yellow where the minifigure is swimming😊 4:17. It would also look really cool if you would at a roofwindow to the factory, then the special police force could enter the building via the roof 6:58.
The little rocks in the water look great! They give extra depth!
Love the factory!! I have a suggestion, on the gap between the buildings, is there a way you can re-angle the one building and move the buildings back to fill the gap? It would give more space in front for the pizzeria outdoor dining area as it’s still really tight with the train. Just a thought!
I think you should add like windows boarded with wood to give the feel of a more run down place and give more privacy to the operation, also maybe a snitch or a spy which is ruining this operation, maybe filming or looking through the window
Suggestion for an addition near the guy jumping into the water... a figure on a kayak or something similar on the water taking pictures from below.
I love the factory building! Might be my favorite one yet!
Maybe you can add roof terrace, where people can have a bbq or a party. Or a roof garden, with a greenhouse where tomatoes can grow and different kind of vegetables? Just an idea. I really like what you do with your city! Keep up the good work!😊
I love coming home from school grabbing a snack and watching a new amazing Brickcrafts upload. The videos are really well-made so that you always understand what’s going on. The LEGO city it self is one of, if not the best I’ve ever seen. Keep up the amazing work!
In one of your interiors, something I like doing for the floors is having tan 1x2 tiles as flooring but one or a couple of them have the sock printing from the lego harry potter sets to make the room look dirty
I’ve just discovered your channel and am completely hooked! I have subscribed and clicked the bell. I look forward to going back through the older videos to get some of the back story. You sir, are a genius 👍🏻👍🏻
That extra room in the factory could possibly be a lookout post
I think the rock formations look great, I would definitely add them! And what about making the tree behind the house a bit taller? I think that would fix the problem with the perspective.
I hope the lego Police can catch up to this Criminals 😅
I like the additional rocks, the only edges of ocean I’ve been too with rocky cliffs always had a few rocks popping out of the water further ahead.
I think keeping it as a tree trunk behind the houses on the upper level is the right call, the last thing someone wants is a root growing through their exterior wall. Maybe to help break up the monotony of the stone work continue some gardens behind the houses, or maybe some bushes/hedges for privacy if the houses have windows up there.
The tree looks great there. I say keep it! If it is an old warehouse maybe add a part of the roof missing or skylights so visitors can see done into it from above.
definitely add those rocks. They look awesome! Also, as to motorizing the doors, it probably wouldn’t be too difficult with some gear racks. You could even hide the motors and stuff in the top part of that empty tower
This might be the best building you built. Love the "flowerbeds"!
The layout is always just getting better and better! Hands down this is the best city build in my opinion. Would love to see some rooftop patios' or gardens on some of the buildings if the height and perspective angles suit them!
You should give one of the houses that is in hiding the gap between the layers a door on the back so that the residents can get into the house from the upper level.
I loved this update. It's very cool that you put these little story inside the city. It really brings it to life.
I think you should definitely add a space shuttle/rocket takeoff site, it would be a way to get to your moon base.
Just discovered this channel, Wow! Your work is fantastic! Every little detail you'd think would be there is and so much more!
1. The windows of the factory could be blacked out/boarded up or some other way to block it for more realism, in such a way it's pretty clear that illegal stuff is being hidden. Then the doors open to reveal what is going on.
2. I like the rocks but maybe not so many, like 2 or 3 only.
3. I love this city, keep it up!
a cliff arch would look great with some of those mini stacks of rocks you were considering. also quite a realistic and unique touch
I hope when you will finish city area, you will do the underwater part of harbour with marine life and maybe sunken ship
This town is getting every week more amazing!!
I love 2 things of today's progresses:
1- Police is going after the weed when the money and the kingpins are in another facility and will probably get away with it. So real.
2- Weed. 😅
For plants of that height I would technically suggest you a amber-ish light @ 4000-2800 Kelvin color simulating HPS bulbs, because the purple-ish colour of last generations LED systems generate less heat, can be placed closer to the leafs and absorb less power but are still unable to penetrate below 50-60 cm resulting in many undergrown buds on the lower branches.
I know, it's a Lego diorama, but I know you like to be accurate as possible. 😊
Keep the tree and the rocks is a very good idea.
you mention the design process and, honestly, i wouldn't mind watching a (short?) mommentated timelapse of that sometimes.
impossible to film a Timelapse of me constantly destroying and rebuilding things :D I tried it, but you don't see any progress ;-)
completely understandable. maybe with any premade set you get or as a sort of quick "here's how to build this cool little thing" at some stage. have you considered maybe having a fixed mounted camera overlooking the whole of the city? could make for a cool timelapse/before-after shot? none the less it is quite interesting watching the city grow.@@Brick_Crafts
That factory is perfect!!! have you considered using ball joints to achieve more interesting rock patterns? maybe something you could consider
It looks like this factory is made to produce joints... So that might work.
Since you mentioned that the upper part of the city lacks vegetation you could add in a rooftop garden. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a couple small potted plants. I think having a few small steps to go from the street to the rooftop would be cool.
Loving the city so far! The factory is a nice addition. When you add the police raiding the place maybe you could add a guy trying to climb out of a window to escape them? Or you could add a small scene where a police officer is chasing a criminal.
Well done!, one suggestion for the 'fruits' make them 3 green flowers tall hehe. Looks really good, fan was nice touch too! Light is good color for flowering, as orange i think would be too dark!
