Damascus had been hard at work in recent months maneuvering to maintain its fraying control over the fate of a neighboring country it has treated more like a restive province over the past three decades.

Public ire is currently being directed at a visionary scheme that could be Tung's greatest contribution to a city often derided as a cultural desert: an arts center to be built on 40 weedy hectares of reclaimed harborfront land. First introduced in Tung's 1999 policy address, and later refined with...
