This is in preparation to stand out in urban connectivity to be used faster for Multi-Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (Multi-IRS) in the latest thirst response. It will determine in advance the application of IRS technology for electromagnetic wave control, so that it is fine-tuned at full power to boost signal transmission and coverage across the urban areas in high-density population. It outlines flexible strategies on how to integrate the Multi-IRS system with both past and urban future establishments in a view of making connected connectivity. In reality, multi-IRS integrated with foundational smart city technologies such as IoT, 5G networks, AI, and others are nothing but a leap toward accomplishing unparalleled data flow and connectivity, both very essential for the modern urban ecosystem. Detailed case studies have demonstrated how multi-IRS systems can enable the breaking of traditional barriers in connectivity: more essentially, it can offer higher bandwidth, lower latency, and increased communication effectiveness. This development marks one of the serious steps under the concept of smart cities, where the data will be spreading and flowing without barriers between the multifarious urban systems and services. Lastly, the paper concludes with a future-looking view of urban connectivity underscored through continuous innovation and research of multi-IRS applications within the smart city landscape. The study points out the fact that dynamic IRS implementation creates an indispensable role in the pathway for upcoming development in smart city connectivity solutions, thus making a case for sustained collaborative efforts in research, policy formulating, and technological innovation for realizing the full potential of IRS technology in taming the connectivity challenges of contemporary urban settings. Performance comparison between a sequential beam search and a proposed model across varying Rician Factors, showing the proposed model's superior channel gain progression from -57 dB at 5 dB to -48 dB at 30 dB, outperforming the sequential method in environments with strong direct signals.
