The layout of the whole city, from the residential and administrative districts to the symmetry of the buildings was planned to harmonise with the city's overall design, and to be both innovative and imaginative. Brasília was made a World Heritage Site during the 11th session of the World Heritage Committee meeting at the Headquarters in Paris, France, on 7-11 December, 1987.
