The municipality is subdivided into one main district and four subdistricts, Joaquim Egídio, [[Sousas]], [[Barão Geraldo]] and Nova Aparecida. There are also 14 regional administrations.

The Secretariat of International Cooperation (SMCI) was created on April 28, 1994. It is one of the 18 Secretariats of the City Hall of Campinas and it is currently located in that building.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.campinas.sp.gov.br/cooperacao/ingles/ |title=Prefeitura Municipal de Campinas |access-date=2008-05-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080928162047/http://www.campinas.sp.gov.br/cooperacao/ingles/ |archive-date=2008-09-28 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Its main goals are:
* the attraction and facilitation for the arrival of new investments to the city;
* the expansion of the companies activities that are already established in the city;
* the perpetuation of the relations between the city, its international community, and partners, such as the Sister-Cities.

The Secretariat also acts as a supporter to other secretariats in the City Hall, often through: the identification of national and foreign potentials investors; keeping systematic contacts with executives in Brazil and abroad, Embassies, Chambers of Commerces and relevant International Organizations; presenting Campinas to the cities and interested investors.
