Peter Lipman is chair of the Transition Network, is policy director at sustainable transport charity Sustrans. He's also
chair of trustees of the Centre for Sustainable Energy, and was involved with setting up Transition Bristol. Every time
Pete cycles down a street in Bristol, he sees two scenes - what's there and what's possible. As well as seeing the
highway designed for an endless stream of half-tonne machines, he can imagine what it might look like if the
people living there redesigned the street for themselves as a liveable neighbourhood. Street furniture, plantings that
disrupt line of sight for drivers, different colours, all sorts of things...Pete has two daughters, Martha and Caitlin, and can often be found wearing shorts in the depths of winter.
