What a lot of people forget is that the default citizen allocation system highly prefers growth over pretty much anything else and makes retarded choices in his placement.
Focus on production and turn off Automatic allocation to buildings. On your average capitol city with 4 - 5 citizens this means it's actually finished in 10-15 turns.
Usually switching to production (though sometimes you have to manually allocate them as one of the cities I took tried to starve them if I dared to switch to anything else than default. Yes even food.) halves the time or better. Otherwise it tries to grow an already unhappy city for an even bigger drain on your empire.
