No...the only reason I ever have to stop growing is if t is going to cause unhappiness.
A pop up that says cultural victory is coming by someone else. Or you can check out the victory progress screen.
Raze all cities unless they have some crucial luxury or strategic resource that you need. Or if the city is important for a domination game.
Domination: As long as you keep your original capital, you can not lose this way.
Space race: Victory progress screen if you haven't been paying attention to space parts being completed.
As a pragmatic matter, if you are #1 in science you are unlikely to lose this way
Old Cultural Victory: (Vanilla and G&K) : Check the Victory progress screen
New Cultural Victory: (BNW) : As long as no AI has reached influential (100%+) over you, you can not lose this way.
Diplomatic Victory in Vanilla : As long as either the UN isn't built at all, or alternatively no single AI has a majority of the city states, you can not lose this way.
Diplomatic Victory in G&K: As long as the UN isn't built at all, you can not lose this way. Alternatively, if you personally have 60%+ of the city states, you are highly unlikely to lose this way.
Diplomatic Victory in BNW: As long as the World Council hasn't become the UN, you can not lose this way. Otherwise, go to the World Council / UN page to check vote counts. But unless a single AI has a supermajority of city states, you are highly unlikely to lose this way.
Time Victory: Check the score. AI is normally the favorite to win this way if the game actually lasts until 2050 AD.
Any time any city grows, your happiness will go down by 1 unless:
1. It's the capital and have you have Monarchy, in which case it will only drop by one half the time.
2. You have the Tradition policy that makes an extra happiness for each city with a multiple of 10 population, in which case it won't drop when it grows to that multiple.
3. You have the Liberty policy that reduces pop unhappiness by 5%; in which case about every 20 citizens in your entire empire, it won't drop.
4. If you both have the Tenet under Freedom and the new citizen got autoassigned as a specialist, then half the time, it won't drop. But most players manually run all specalists so this won't apply.
5. Sometimes you might complete a happiness building the same turn a city grows, in which case the happiness loss got offset by a happiness growth.
