Hey man, it's looking good - nice aiming of the lines to the vanishing points off the page, doing that is great practice!
I threw some straight lines over it so you can see. It's pretty solid, but with blocky shapes like this it's really obvious when the lines are not quite on target.
To make stuff look more solid, and like it belongs there (on top of getting the line accuracy better - which will just come with practice), you can work in overlaps - you did that a lot already - but that small building / block in the lower right that is all on its own looks like it's floating a bit, if you had something overlapping it in front it'd look more like it's fixed to the ground. You can also try adding a thicker / heavier pencil line to objects on the edges that touch the ground. This can make them look more like they are anchored to the earth (the next step from this is adding heavier line weight to objects that are overlapping others - to make them 'pop' out and emphasise that they are in front).
A bigger problem in that drawing though is the verticals - I dropped in vertical red lines on the image below so you can see. These are really hard to get perfectly straight - one of the hardest parts of perspective drawing like this - and you're doing great, so just keep practising ^^
