Getting ACF Select[dropdown], Selected CPT's Title

I have a Custom Post Type that has ACF fields. So, for example, I can create a new Custom Post Type for Los Angeles and then fill out the different fields available for that post type. Then I can create a new Custom Post Type for New York and fill out the different fields.

When I create a page, I choose a select option(Los Angeles or New York) to output that post types values in the page. This is a required field.

Then I have a plugin to show the published status and the page template assigned of each page.

What I am wanting to do is also display the title of the Post Type assigned to each page. How can I get the title of each pages assigned Custom Post Type?

My Custom Post Type is named “City Templates”, here is the code:

// Add the City Templates Custom Post Type
function cptui_register_my_cpts_city_template() {
	/* Post Type: City Templates.*/
	$sitedomain = get_site_url();
	$labels = array(
		"name" => __( "City Templates", "Theme-Child" ),
		"singular_name" => __( "City Template", "Theme-Child" ),
	);
	$args = array(
		"label" => __( "City Templates", "Theme-Child" ),
		"labels" => $labels,
		"description" => "",
		"public" => false,
		"publicly_queryable" => false,
		"show_ui" => true,
		"delete_with_user" => false,
		"show_in_rest" => false,
		"rest_base" => "",
		"rest_controller_class" => "WP_REST_Posts_Controller",
		"has_archive" => false,
		"show_in_menu" => true,
		"show_in_nav_menus" => true,
		"exclude_from_search" => true,
		"capability_type" => "post",
		"map_meta_cap" => true,
		"hierarchical" => false,
		"rewrite" => array( "slug" => "cities_template", "with_front" => true ),
		"query_var" => true,
		"menu_position" => 63,
		"menu_icon" => "$sitedomain/wp-content/themes/Theme/images/image.png",
		"supports" => array( "title", "editor", "thumbnail" ),
	);
	register_post_type( "cities_template", $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'cptui_register_my_cpts_city_template' );

My ACF group is called “City Template Page Setting”, here is the code:

// Add the ACF choose city template select box
if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):
acf_add_local_field_group(array(
	'key' => 'group_5babd7e887844',
	'title' => 'City Template Page Setting',
	'fields' => array(
		array(
			'key' => 'field_59304f7e23d16',
			'label' => 'Cities Template',
			'name' => 'cities_template',
			'type' => 'post_object',
			'instructions' => '',
			'required' => 1,
			'conditional_logic' => 0,
			'wrapper' => array(
				'width' => '',
				'class' => '',
				'id' => '',
			),
			'post_type' => array(
				0 => 'cities_template',
			),
			'taxonomy' => array(
			),
			'allow_null' => 0,
			'multiple' => 0,
			'return_format' => 'object',
			'ui' => 1,
		),
	),
	'location' => array(
		array(
			array(
				'param' => 'page_template',
				'operator' => '==',
				'value' => 'page-city-template.php',
			),
		),
	),
	'menu_order' => 1,
	'position' => 'side',
	'style' => 'default',
	'label_placement' => 'top',
	'instruction_placement' => 'label',
	'hide_on_screen' => '',
	'active' => true,
	'description' => '',
));
endif;

Here is what I have for my admin page output:

function display_ews_metas_ids(){
	$page_ids=get_all_page_ids();
	echo '<h3>Pages :</h3><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;flex-wrap:wrap;">';
	foreach($page_ids as $page){
	//Check if $current_lang_page_id is original page (not a tranlated page) and status publish
	if (get_post_status($page) == 'auto-draft') {echo '';} else {
	echo '<div class="desc-bulk-box" style="width:90%;padding:0 1%;margin:5px 0;"><a href="'. get_edit_post_link( $page ) .'" target="_blank"><strong style="color: #016392;">'.get_the_title($page).'</strong>';// retrieve the _metadescs current value
	if ('draft' === get_post_status( $page )) {echo '<em style="color:#e29404"> (in draft status)</em>';}
	if ('pending' === get_post_status( $page )) {echo '<em style="color:#bfa800"> (in pending status)</em>';}
	if ('future' === get_post_status( $page )) {echo '<em style="color:#bfa800"> (in future status)</em>';}
	if ('private' === get_post_status( $page )) {echo '<em style="color:#bfa800"> (in private status)</em>';}
	if ('trash' === get_post_status( $page )) {echo '<em style="color:#c12222"> (in trash)</em>';}
	echo '</a>';
	}
	$template = get_post_meta( $page, '_wp_page_template', true );
	if ($template == 'page-city-template.php') {
		echo '	-- <b><i>CITY BASED PAGE TEMPLATE</i></b> --';
			$field = get_field_object('group_5babd7e887844');
			$value = get_field('cities_template');
			$label = $field['choices'][ $value ];?>
		<p>Assigned Template: <?php echo $label; ?></p>
		<?php echo $template; ?>
		</div>
	<?php }
	}
}

I have piecemealed together many things for the output so if that is way off base, I am not surprised.
