With enough food, you should grow multiple pop in a turn.

They've already multiple mechanics in place to stop overpopulation; Most of which are less annoying than the limited pop growth.

Pop consumption is exponential, specialist slots and unemployment costs(which could also be made exponential), meaning Pop is also limited by districts, whose industry cost is also exponential[not to mention stability]- whereas production, of both industry and food, is linear. {There is also the fact that the better districts are limited to one per territory[Technically all districts are, but unlike EL you're never going to fill a territory], which also costs exponential influence and linear stability.}

It's been said before, but "Industry is king in Humankind," Stability, food, and influence should be just as important(Granted, all of those can be gained in larger amounts with higher industry, but I think you get what I mean).

Angkor Wat, personally, is how I get food. Had two-thousand excess plus, if I remember correctly.

I completely agree. This is from the wiki:

"

Pop Gain formula

% Pop Gain = 1 - 1/ (1 + 0.02 * Excess Food)

This gives diminishing returns for excessive food amounts, e.g. some values

• 10 Excess Food -> 17% Pop Growth (1 Pop every 6 Turns)
• 25 Excess Food -> 33% Pop Growth (1 Pop every 3 Turns)
• 50 Excess food -> 50% Pop Growth (1 Pop every 2 Turns)
• 100 Excess Food -> 67% Pop Growth (2 Pops over 3 Turns)
• 150 Excess Food -> 75% Pop Growth (3 Pops over 4 Turns)
• 200 Excess Food -> 80% Pop Growth (4 Pops over 5 Turns)
• 450 Excess Food -> 90% Pop Growth (9 Pops over 10 Turns)
• 950 Excess Food -> 95% Pop Growth (19 Pops over 20 Turns)

In the limit this equation tends to 1 Pop per turn (but It is impossible to actually ever reach 1 Pop per Turn)."

So pretty much anything over 100 excess food per turn is pretty useless. I would prefer a formula that takes into acount exponential population growth, keeping in mind the amout of population, 4 citizens can grow at max 2 per turn. This would make 6 which can grow max 3. Also make a bandwith of 1 population so that the city is not starving or growing each turn.

Me too. Stability, food, and influence should be just as important.
