I stumbled upon following sentence:

> 至る所に水路が **張り巡らされ青** が際立つ街並みになっている。

I wanted to ask which grammatical construction lies behind 「張り巡らされ青」. The
context it appears in is the description of a (fictional) Onsen-town.

Further I am unsure how to interpret 「なっている」. I can image that (judging from
it being the description of an Onsen-town) meaning something like "the scenery
changed into...".

You've parsed this incorrectly. Think:

至る所に水路が張り巡らされ(て)、青が際立つ街並みになっている。

Waterways were peppered throughout, with the townscape featuring heavily the
color blue.

・When connecting two phrases together with "て", you don't actually need the
"て". This makes the sentence sound more formal/academic.

・As for the なっている at the end, it carries a similar meaning to "です". You could
perhaps think "has become" → "is". It however does not necessarily imply that
there was a time when what is before になっている wasn't the case.
