City is the thematic title under which most Town-related LEGO System sets were released from 2005 onwards. There are numerous sets that are associated with Construction, Police, Fire, Emergency, Train, Airport, Transport, Cargo, Traffic, Coast Guard, Farm, and Space. European catalogues featured another theme called City in the years 1999 to 2000, which was referred to as City Center in American catalogues.

Note: Some of the sets that are listed below may be labelled under multiple categories.

History

World City was renamed City as LEGO System's primary town-life related theme in 2005. However, unlike its predecessor, it was not limited to sets involving rescue services like Police, Fire or Coast Guard, but also introduced the first new construction site related sets since the discontinuation of City Center in 2000. In 2006, the first new airport set since 6597 Century Skyway (1994) was released, as well as the first new hospital since 6380 Emergency Treatment Center from 1987. These releases expanded City to a scope only comparable to the original Town theme, and in 2009 it even went slightly beyond that, by introducing the first farm-related System sets. Also, in that year, City followed this route to release more truly civilian town life sets such as 7641 City Corner and 7639 Camper. In 2010 City released more civilian sets including 8403 Family House and 8404 Public Transport. In 2011 City will re introduce the space theme with a moon buggy, a space shuttle, a rocket station and other sets, see 2011.
