I was wondering if anyone has any useful advice on getting rid of/reducing devastation on my city tiles. I'm holding cities which had previously been besieged by other factions (causing a huge amount of devastation) for between 10-20 turns and although the scorched earth animation does indeed reduce and eventually disappear, the actual devastation in my city browser fluctuates without apparent cause. On Sardinia for example, there are no rebel/other factions/my faction armies on the island (built watchtowers all over the island to make sure) except within the city itself and even the garrison within the city is only 2 units of peasants. I've held Caralis for 10 years and it began with 78 devastation when I took over the city, in the past 20 turns it has been 58 at its lowest and is currently back up at 69. It's not really a big deal I know as it doesn't have such terrible effects but It's one of those little things that I'm finding really annoying.
