‘The Toilet Manifesto’ dreams about future of public sanitation infrastructures in our cities and villages. It explores possibilities of transforming utilitarian engineering systems into holistic public spaces integrated with everyday lives of people. It presents possibilities where ten types of public toilet typologies are transformed into sustainable and sensitive public buildings. The mundane and routine activities are integrated to dignify the everyday. The Manifesto also works out details of technology, finance and operations for each of these imaginations hinting at their feasibility.
