Pete Wood

Dr Peter Wood is a geographer and a member of the OU’s Open Space Research Centre whose research interests focus on sustainability, community organising and mobility. Working closely with local government and sustainable transport charities, he has investigated how different ways of travelling affect the lives of people in South London, including how class, gender, age and race influence how people use their streets, how family and work commitments encourage people to use transport in different ways, and why people get involved with local online campaigning. His aim is to understand how sustainability will change how we live in the future.

At The Open University, Peter is responsible for producing many of the educational materials published by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. He is also an OU graduate.
