I am from Turkmenistan, and not surprized that people far from understanding any non-western country claim it to be a ghost city. For many years, many bloggers have been calling our capital a ghost city, though more than 1 million people live there. They just film everything in the daytime when no one wants to be outside, especially when temperatures can reach 50 Celsius. Also, the city is relatively well designed and more modest compared to projects like Neom. A lot of people already moving to the city mostly because of subsidized mortgages, despite it being quite far from the capital and any other city.

Say whatever you want, it is within your right, as locals... But the LARGER PICTURE IS.... throughout history, in all societies all over the world.... artificially built cities (where the Dear Great Leader waves his hand, benevolently, and structures started popping "very beautifully, the most beautiful," as Donald Trump would describe every thing he touches, including fake "Trump University" and money-losing Casinos, both shut down after some years, when more information came to light as to how idiotic such projects are, how badly run they were).... just don't thrive that well... especially, again, if such projects are undertaken by benevolent dictators. It usually works well, if an organic, original town or city was there, with the benevolent dictators merely ENLARGING it. But brand new, giant cities with "geniuses" working for dictators constructing everything new, to "amaze the people," etc... such projects, again, don't have a very good track record of self-sustainment, due to many serious issues... for example: ---- unpredicted ecological, corruption, dictatorial imposition from the top by the rulers, bad or inefficient municipality infrastructures (electricity, sewage, school & civil institutions, roads, transportation hubs not connecting well with tried & true cities elsewhere, etc).

Many of the most important governmental buildings are quite literally built in front of a highway. Quite a few of the parks and monuments seem to be way out there, cut off from the rest of the city. Theses are spaces that are meant to be looked at from a distance and never interacted with. It does not get much worse than that in terms of design.
