Micropolis2 is a modular building standard, for assembling small LEGO cities.
These quarter-blocks are the smallest standard module size in Micropolis.
Every town should have a favorite pizza place, for pick-up or dine in. As we build more MOCs, we're always asking "what is missing from our town?" What would you build?

It all started when I put a few plates together with a couple pairs of Minifig Roller Skates, and I set about trying to make a modular train that could wrap around a Micropolis city. This became my COVID Project, and continued to blossom. I modified the Micropolis block standard to allow for putting power "under the streets" using open bases and arch bricks on the edges. This became Micropolis 2.
