Public toilets: The need for compulsory provision
Greed, Clara
Authors
Abstract
There is no mandatory requirement for local authorities to provide public toilets. Yet, it is argued, they are a vital component in creating accessible, sustainable and comfortable cities for all. In this paper the reasons for compulsory standards are explained, and the underlying problems of current provision and regulation are investigated. The nature of a spatial toilet strategy in respect of the adequate distribution and location of public toilets is outlined. Changes in the regulatory and organisational aspects of public toilet provision are proposed that would result in a better standard of facilities for twenty-first century needs.
