most villages have a central market place near the docks where goods can be traded and easily shiped via boat or via merchents with beast of burdens that walk the paths along the river banks.

there are different districts within the village ranging from farms to industry to houseing areas.

Furthermore there is always a bigger governmental building nested against the canyon wall which stands taller and is bigger than any of the other houses in the village where the mayor and other officials make sure that everything in the village runs smoothly.
