Question for Jan 13

The visual shows the 'Plano Piloto' of X (as presented in 1957). When seen from above, the main planned part of X's shape resembles an airplane. X (a national capital) is the only city in the world built in the 20th century to be awarded (in 1987) the status of Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. X also holds the distinction of waiting the shortest amount of time to be designated a World Heritage Site of any UNESCO entry, which occurred just 27 years after its completion in 1960.

Identify X.
