A great idea - but you could do it with existing canals, I reckon.
Anything too big to go by canal should go round the coast by ship. Many big cities e.g. Manchester have their own ship canal which runs into the centre of town, where big loads can be broken up and re-distributed by the smaller canals.
Here in and around Manchester and the North West, there is already a big renovation of canals going on - with the emphasis on making the former tow-paths walkable, and the canal-side environment attractive and open, with cafes, apartments etc.
Even as I write, the canals of the UK are re-emerging with a new vitality. I think the new renaissance of British canals is well underway.
