what parts are looking like a ghost town? ...

well - htere are definitively a few in the new Build-up areas:

opposite the Daubai-Marina-Complex/ the second row buildings - where building-activities have litarally come to a standstill since months -
these aereas are really ghostly, deserted, scruffy &with rubbish flyin' through the empty streets

Same goes for the unfinished parts opposite of the JBR-ghetto:
totally deserted, unfinished concrete structures, with just nobody working - or even livin' there - a ghost-city like one out of a bad Terminator-movie ...
badly run down, with just a few totally dusty cars parked (or abandoned?) along the sides in the sand ...

and opposite the JBR - the previous Sales Center - is in the meanwhile totally deserted, the empty pool full of dirt, the garden piling up with rubbish - umbrella lying everywhere around, the pool-bar covered with massive dust & dirt - a real ghostly "nomans-land" - nobody seems to be using it anymore ...

.. it might face the same fate as the ex-Dubai-Hilton hotel soon, which has been blown up recently - so, there's even a little more dust over there ...
