Macao is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. It is, in turn, subdivided into Concelhos and Freguesias. The two city councils during the Portuguese era have now been abolished:
The municipal councils (C??mara Municipal de Macau and C??mara Municipal das Ilhas; C??mara Municipal de Macau Provis??ria and C??mara Municipal das Ilhas Provis??ria (with Assembleia Municipal das Ilhas|Assembleia Municipal Provis??ria) after the handover) were dissolved on December 31, 2001 and the Institute of Civic and Municipal Affairs (Instituto para os Assuntos C??vicos e Municipais) was set up. During the last periods of Portuguese era, the peninsular (northern) district was administered by the Macau Municipal Council (C??mara Municipal de Macau), and the islands by the Islands Municipal Council (C??mara Municipal das Ilhas). After the handover to China in 1999, these were transferred to the Provisional Municipal Council of Macau (?????????????????????????????????; C??mara Municipal de Macau Provis??ria) and the Provisional Municipal Council of the Islands (?????????????????????????????????; C??mara Municipal das Ilhas Provis??ria) respectively per Article 15, http://www.imprensa.macau.gov.mo/bo/i/1999/01/lei01.asp Law 1/1999; the corresponding Municipal Assembly (Assembleia Municipal) was also changed to a provisional one (??????????????????; Assembleia Municipal Provis??ria). Article 16 and Annex XII of http://www.imprensa.macau.gov.mo/bo/i/1999/01/regadm06.asp Law 6/1999 changed the http://www.fotw.net/flags/mo-mau.html Portuguese-style coat-of-arms with two angels as heraldic supporters to a http://www.fotw.net/flags/mo-mau99.html simple design of a key with two birds as supporters. Implicitly, this also revoked the historical name of Cidade do (Santo) Nome de Deus de Macau, N??o h?? outra mais Leal (City of the (Holy) Name of God of Macau, There is none more Loyal) which had religion|religious and monarchy|royal overtones. Subsequently in 2001, http://www.imprensa.macau.gov.mo/bo/i/2001/51/lei17.asp Law 17/2001 and http://www.imprensa.macau.gov.mo/bo/i/2001/51/regadm32.asp Administrative Regulation 32/2001 introduced the http://www.iacm.gov.mo/ Institute (or Bureau) of Civic and Municipal Affairs (????????????; Instituto para os Assuntos C??vicos e Municipais; IACM) which replaced the Provisional Municipal Councils. The IACM was given a http://www.imprensa.macau.gov.mo/bo/i/2001/51/Image1.gif logo based on the Chinese character|Han (Chinese) character for "civilian". Cotai, the new land reclamation|reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane, is not yet assigned to any of the freguesias. Macau
