I think a breakdown of what is considered urban population vs rural population in the settlement details menu would be helpful. Right now i think the only way to tell is counting the number of urban tiles? I’m currently in age 2 using Abbasid and the unique civic bonuses increase science or culture when you have at least 8 urban population and there is just not an easy quick way to assess that.

seconding this, but adding that it's even less clear than that. if you have an extremely dense city with many specialists, the only time you get a chance to count would be when the population grows, but even that isn't much more insightful. The city details pane shows you the max of your own city, but still none of the details differentiating urban vs rural
and this is not even tracking the total number of specialists in a city (unless you consider having a count of the highest number of specialists in a single, unspecified city, that only appears in the Age Progress menu, during the Exploration Age, under the first Science legacy path quest, as a place to track specialists... which you shouldn't)
even worse when you are trying to guess what an opposing civilizations population diversity is, since you only get the total number from the city name and that's it, despite it also being a pre-requisite to make progression in the Culture legacy path using certain reliquary beliefs:

Also figuring out total urban yields is a pain. A view for tracking exploration age science victory conditions in settlement view could pair well with enhanced urban v rural stats.
Right now I can't even see the city population in the selected city screen.
