Re: Request for examples of innovative Public Toilets

Hi Manas,

I'd be happy to talk to you about the development of The Portland Loo in Portland, Oregon and its spread throughout North America and beyond.  Questions I cannot answer can be referred to the company.

Can we schedule a meeting on WhatsApp or Zoom the week of 18 November?  

Please have a look at these websites.  Best wishes with your important study.

Toilet availability is a human right and well-designed sanitation systems restore health to our cities, our waters and our soils.

Request for examples of innovative Public Toilets

I am compiling a study of innovative, impactful and aspirational Public Toilets across the world, in developing and developed cities / countries. If you know of examples, please do share. If you can answer any of the questions below, or if you have any documents, floor plans, photos, user feedback or connections to implementing parties, that is a bonus!! Thank you very much.

For such cities, we want to understand: 

1. What was the existing status of public toilets in that city / country? What was the problem felt by people? Why did this problem exist?

2. What kind of public toilets were developed as a response? Some details around the following would be useful:
   - Policy: Improvement or change in policy, by-laws for public toilets, tenders issued etc
   - Technical Innovations: Better designs, materials, circularity, sustainability, integrated services etc
   - Social Outcomes: More focus on gender, inclusion, accessibility etc, promoting local culture or sense of belonging / identity
   - Contract and Process: New organization or institutional forms to build, finance and operate these--PPPs, new kinds of O&M contracts, partnership for financing and operations with multilateral or private parties
   - Financial: Any info on capital costs and O&M costs, sources of funds

3. What is the impact and outcomes of these toilets? What are the future goals / targets and plans? 

4. What are the challenges and problems faced already or expected in the future,  and lessons learnt? Who are the key stakeholders involved in this effort?
