高雄市政府都發局2017年邀請大專院校學生加入「家園社區營造」計畫，以創意和專業與社區志工協力，歷經8個月將多處閒置空地整理為綠意開放空間，提升環境並加深社區認同，也成功促進公民參與與社區紮根。成果類型多元，以轉角公園、生態環保、人文風采、社區園藝及大學生根等五大主題，並以得過建築園冶獎的案例為代表；而每個案例，都是一篇值得回味的美好故事，因此特以本書「高雄的社區酷事」記載之，為所有參與這段故事的人事物留下珍貴的紀錄。
本書封設計以正方形鏤空，象徵窗戶，透過開口可窺見內頁的圖紋設計，營造一種向內探索的視覺體驗。內頁圖紋運用「點、線、面」的設計手法，構築各單元主題的元素，象徵社區從小細節逐步改造、延展至整體的過程。插圖中的人物與這些元素相互互動，表現出社區營造的活力與人文連結。
In 2017, the Kaohsiung City Urban Development Bureau invited university students to join the "Community Building Initiative." Through creativity and expertise, they collaborated with community volunteers over eight months to transform multiple vacant lots into green open spaces. These efforts improved the environment, deepened community identity, and successfully promoted civic engagement and grassroots development. The outcomes spanned five diverse themes: corner parks, ecological conservation, cultural charm, community gardening, and student involvement, with award-winning architectural examples serving as highlights. Each project represents a heartwarming story worth revisiting, documented in this book, Kaohsiung's Cool Community Projects, as a cherished record of the people and events behind these transformations.
The book cover features a square cutout symbolizing a window, allowing readers to glimpse the inner page patterns and creating a visual experience of inward exploration. The interior designs utilize "dots, lines, and planes" to construct elements of each thematic unit, symbolizing the gradual process of community transformation from small details to the broader whole. Illustrations depict individuals interacting with these elements, showcasing the vibrancy and human connections of community building.
