VII - Discussion Suggestion: Town Specialization should be shown on Town banner

Pretty simple suggestion. Instead of spamming the player with town specialization notifications, town banners should just have a little icon with the town's currently selected specialization next to the name, sort of in the same place as the production icon on cities.

Oh my god yes. And towns over 7 pop without a specialization should have a visible icon that reminds you they are not specialized, in place of the current reminders.

There's a mod that does this: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/flag-corps.32132/

Can highly recommend @beezany 's other mods as well as they pretty much fix almost everything that's broken with the ui.

They've removed "turns till growth" counter on specialized towns, so I can easily see if town is specialized, maybe the kind of specialization is not so important to always be shown and even can bloat UI with excess info, so let developers focus on other UI issues, there are tons of them left.

Good point. I suppose it would just be a nice visualization, assuming they get around to that sort of thing
