Why would you want to change from the sturdy 36 spoke Alex wheels to something fragile for an urban/city bike? Besides, the terrain is relatively flat, so you would probably notice no difference in performance. While there is some truth to the effect of rotating mass, though minimal, you should know that most of the weight difference is in the hubs, not the rims where it would make the most theoretical difference.
