UCL is a hub for research on water security, environmental governance and sustainable cities. This project was initiated with support from UCL Engineering, the Bartlett and the Grand Challenge of Sustainable Cities.
Sarah Bell, Tse-Hui Teh and Barbara Penner have been working together on toilets since 2010. Sarah is an Environmental Engineer, Hui is an Urban Designer and Barbara is an Architectural Historian, each bringing a different perspective on the challenge of sustainable sanitation, globally and in London. Their previous toilet related activities include a workshop on urine diversion in Durban, South Africa, and the co-design event 'New Loos for London'.
Barbara edited the book 'Ladies and Gents: Public Toilets and Gender' with Olga Gersherson (Temple University Press, 2009). Her latest book 'Bathroom' (Reaktion, 2013) will be launched at the festival.
