[The Lord of the Rings/Tolkien] Is the Edoras and Minas Tirith surrounding areas seen in the films at all correct?

It always bugged me that in the Peter Jackson films Edoras and Minas Tirith have nothing surrounding them for what seems like miles and miles.  No huts, no houses no towns.  Wouldn't kingdoms of that size have much more stuff happening?

The kingdoms of Men are fairly unpopulated as it is. For one Rohan was decimated by Uruk Hai and Gondor is sort of waning. Dont even get me started on Bree Land, that place hasnt recovered sincle the fall og Arnor. The 3rd Age was not a fun time to be a Man.
