City is a Living System, we Study How it Work

At Park & Willow, we explore the city layer by layer, examining how its structures, spaces, and systems interact to shape everyday experience. Through research and critical observation, we seek to understand the forces that animate urban environments and imagine how they might grow more thoughtfully.
