Is there a trope for when towns and cities have far less people or even buildings to house said people actually visible than they're supposed to?
For instance, say a city is supposed to have thousands to even millions of people, but places where you'd expect to see anywhere from dozens to hundreds of people around (like a marketplace, a city hall, etc) you only see about 5 or 6 people at the most.
