Not sure if anyone have noticed this: You can build city improvements while it is under resistance or disorder if you disband enough units to fill up the shield requirement. I used this tactic to build a temple and a catheral in each captured city in 2 turns and have not seen any revolt since. Of course you have to find enough units to disband but this works very well in late conquests.
 
Just send in a bunch of units. It doesnt usually take that many. THe most resisters i've ever seen is 10.
 
It sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't use it too often as I like to keep my military units to fight, not convert them to 20% (I believe) of their shield cost to construct a few buildings. It depends on the situation though.
 
Also if there is a forest with roads and you can get enough workers there you can build a temple the turn it is captured

3 forests with roads + 12 workers = 1 instant temple

I used this allot when playing the Egyptians and attacking in Canada on the huge earth map
