There is also a 'City generator include file' (by Chris Colefax)
available from one of the www.povray.org pages ('Resources' I think).
It can generate cities of (almost) any size, with a lot of parameters
to adjust the layout (size of city, height of buildings, variation of
height, width of streets, pavements, cars, lamp posts etc. etc.

I think I looked at that once.  It's probably much more elegant and
powerful than mine.  However, I made my own because I wanted the look of
the skylines in the backgrounds of LEGO Town instruction manuals. (Hence
the faded blue and simplified shapes)  Also, I wanted it to render
quickly , which was another reason for keeping the shapes simple.

There are also instructions how to add buildings (and cars) of your
own, so perhaps it's possible to create a new include file that • generates
Lego buildings, cars, roads and so on...

That might be interesting--sort of like creating a Datsville.  But it
would take forever to render...
