A pedestrian village is a compact, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood or town, with a mixed-use village center, that follows the tenets of New Pedestrianism.

Shared-use lanes for pedestrians and those using bicycles, Segways, wheelchairs, and other small rolling conveyances that do not use internal combustion engines.

Generally, these lanes are in front of the houses and businesses, and streets for motor vehicles are always at the rear.

Some pedestrian villages might be nearly car-free with cars either hidden below the buildings or on the periphery of the village.

Venice, Italy is essentially a pedestrian village with canals.

The canal district in Venice, California, on the other hand, combines the front lane/rear street approach with canals and walkways, or just walkways.

In Europe, most ski resorts are towns or villages in or adjacent to a ski area – a mountainous area with pistes, ski trails and a ski lift system.
