公共溝通及社會設計在城市升級的進程中扮演不可或缺的角色,舉凡城市符號、空間指標、公共建築及政策宣導等,都與人們的生活息息相關,為市政設計單元首次邀請設計師與市政局處合作,討論範疇包含與社會局的高齡生活態度議題、與捷運局的輕軌搭乘指標議題及與工務局的未來居住議題,看似平凡的市政議題透過設計的參與將展現煥然一新的獨特視角,在想像高雄市政更多元的可能性的同時,也建立城市更美好的形象及自信。

Public communication and social design play indispensable roles in the process of advancing a city. A city's symbols, spatial indicators, public buildings and policy promotion are all closely related to people's daily life.
The Design into Public unit has worked in collaboration with the Mass Rapid Transit Bureau, the Public Works Bureau and the Social Affairs Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government. Through design we can envision all the possibilities Kaohsiung could become. It also enhances the city's image and builds a strong sense of pride in the city.
