However, for everyone (regardless of struggles with the issue of public their solutions have been gender or disabilities), by urination.

Nightlife has grown in importance to the City of Paris, and it should be accessible to all. 7 Our Challenge Public urination has become a However, today, only 150 out of major issue in Paris, especially these 400 Sanisettes are open in areas that are highly 24 hours a day, whereas the frequented at night. This issue others are typically not stems from a lack of access to accessible between 22:00 and facilities. Hence, the City of 6:00 (“Les Sanisettes.” Retour à Paris has proposed several L'accueil - Paris). To make solutions aiming to provide matters worse, Sanisettes are more toilet facilities. Since the often out of order or far from 1980’s, the city has bars or populated areas. As implemented roughly 400 such, women are left to find the Sanisettes, the only permanent Sanisettes on their own, asking public toilets accessible by bartenders to use their women (Hotels Paris Rive restrooms for free or relieving A Sanisette in Paris, by night. Gauche Blog). themselves in unsafe areas. 8 I have This chart indicates the number of Sanisettes per arrondissement in Paris and their operating hours. The neighborhoods with a significant number of 24h Sanisettes (in red) are often associated with high nighttime attendance and would benefit from additional sanitary installation — even relatively well-served areas cannot adequately meet toilet demand today. 9 The figure to the right shows that our first targeted area (highlighted in yellow), the Left Bank of the Seine. The region has a lack of accessible Sanisettes, even though it is often frequented at night. 10 The figure to the left shows the sanitary installations along Canal Saint-Martin, our second targeted area. Most of the Sanisettes are closed at night, and the 24h ones are concentrated in Buttes Chaumont and Gare de l’Est areas, a 10-minute walking distance from the Canal. 11 Portable Chemical Toilets Another solution commonly This causes the porta potties to implemented is that of porta take on a foul smell (Kneiszel, potties. They are used mostly Making Porta-Potties More during events such as festivals Appealing to The Public). and are not permanent infrastructures. Moreover, many Sanisettes and portable toilets stay away from porta potties are two different approaches; because they tend to be however, both of them are not unappealing to the user.

For these reasons, the City of Paris has installed them in an increasing number of locations and adopted a variety of models. These infrastructure elements appear to be well-used along Canal Saint-Martin, but are effectively only available for non-disabled men to use. A urinal along Canal Saint-Martin. An Uritrottoir in Paris. 14 Heard Along the Canal Saint-Martin We interviewed some groups of people along the Canal on 18 July 2018. They said the following: “In Paris, it is never easy to pee “I usually hide behind cars, and “I only use the public toilets when you are a woman! I ask for a friend to come with when there is not a line. And usually hold it for the entire me, to feel more secure. It is a honestly, I would rather go in a night.

The original black text reads: “Yesss. You have used one of the toilets at your disposal.” The graffiti reads: “And for the girls? Do they not pee?” 16 Bridging the Gap The City of Paris has mainly focused on infrastructure solutions for men, whereas the few gender-neutral solutions that have been implemented, such as the Sanisettes, seem to be inefficient (Stone, 2017).

This unspeakable tragedy reveals how vital it is that our education system ensures that schools have safe and decent sanitation. Reports from educators, families, rights groups and the media indicate that school toilets that are overcrowded, blocked, broken, filthy or have no hand washing facilities are not exceptional. The schools where safety and dignity are at risk still typically reflect the demographic inequalities of apartheid. In its 2014 report, the South African Human Rights Commission stated that: “Those areas which lack water and sanitation mirror apartheid spatial geography.

  • Public Toilets the Implications In/For Architecture by Allaa Mokdad Advisor Deirdre Hennebury
    Public Toilets The Implications In/For Architecture By Allaa Mokdad Advisor Deirdre Hennebury A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in The Lawrence Technological University [2017-2018] Acknowledgments Thank you to my advisor Dr Deirdre Hennebury for all the guid- ance and support in this research inquiry; and my mom and dad and the rest of the Mokdads for all their support during the process. Preface “The toilet is the fundamental zone of interac- tion-on the most intimate level-between humans and architecture. It is the architectural space in which bodies are replenished, inspected, and culti- vated, and where one is left alone for private re- flection- to develop and affirm identity” - Koolhaas, 2014 Content Introduction 1 Abstract 2 Research Method 3 Nomenclature 4 Guiding Questions Theory 5-6 Public Toilet 7 Public 8 Private 9 Toilet Analysis 10 Introduction 11-12 Timeline 13 Definitions 14-24 London 25-31 Paris 32-38 New York 39 Conclusion 40-41 References Abstract A reflection of societal values, the public toilet is a politicized space that provides sanitation in the public realm. In addition to its role in sup- porting a basic human need through sanitation provision, the public toilet is also a space that provides solidarity in the face of congestion, a place where one develops and affirms identity [Koolhaas, 2014]. In the nineteenth century through the twen- ty-first century, the public toilet has shifted from an external urban condition to an interiorized urban issue. It once stood as a symbol of moder- nity in the congested streets of industrial cities, and progressed to be prominently featured in ac- cessibility debates.

  • Good Evening Everyone, for Those of You Who I Haven't Met, My Name Is
    Good evening everyone, for those of you who I haven’t met, my name is Colin Bell and I am the Environmental Protection Manager with Direct Services.
