canal city
Amsterdam, for one
A canal city is an urban area where canals serve as major transportation arteries, often replacing or supplementing streets.
Venice is the archetypal canal city, with Amsterdam and Bangkok as other examples.
The term evokes romantic imagery of waterways, bridges, and boats as primary transport: We spent our honeymoon in the canal city of Bruges.
