I want my civ game to be challenging, but I want it to challenge my intellect by f.e. having great AI, not challenge my patience by making me play mini-Sim City on every city in my civ game.

You are right, I dont want to be playing Sim-city either. Although you do have to admit, there is pride with you seeing a city YOU built that is absolutely humungous, and awesome.

Micromanaging every city would indeed be a nightmare but I would quite like this idea if it was done for your capital only. How you designed it could reflect on general happiness, efficiency, education, military, crime and pollution modifiers for your empire as a whole. The only drawback is that anything which increases the length of a turn is going to make Multiplayer less playable at the expense of 1 player / PBEM.
