Comparison of Mobile Toilets Before and After Renovation

The comparison of mobile toilets before and after renovation is mainly reflected in their appearance and functional facilities. The following provides a detailed explanation using seven mobile public toilets, such as those on Shiji Avenue at Weifang Road and Zhangyang Road at Miaopu Road, as examples:

In terms of appearance, before renovation, mobile toilets may have had a monotonous and ordinary look, with color combinations lacking aesthetic appeal and a low degree of integration with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to leave a good visual impression. After renovation, the overall design uses soft tones like light beige and light brown as the base, with a touch of dark blue outlining the borders and accenting certain areas. This color combination is harmonious and elegant, neither too flashy nor lacking in visual highlights. The soft tones create a warm and comfortable atmosphere, allowing users to feel a sense of affinity as they approach the toilet. At the same time, the dark blue outlines and accents serve as the finishing touches, giving the toilet a greater sense of layering and design, enabling it to blend naturally into the surrounding environment without appearing out of place, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetic of the city street.

Regarding functional facilities, before renovation, the functions of mobile toilets were relatively simple, mainly meeting basic toilet needs, with insufficient consideration for special groups. After renovation, to make it more convenient for the elderly to use the toilet and easier for families with children, a third toilet was added. The third toilet takes into full account the needs of special groups such as the elderly, children, and those with mobility issues, and is equipped with corresponding facilities, such as barrier-free handrails and children's toilets, providing them with a safer, more convenient, and comfortable toilet environment. In addition, at the intersection of Shiji Avenue and Weifang Road, a "sanitation station" was added to one of the mobile public toilets. The station is fully equipped with facilities such as a refrigerator, shower room, microwave oven, and charging ports. This creates a warm haven for sanitation workers to rest and recharge, demonstrating care for this group and further expanding the functions of mobile toilets, making them not just a place for using the toilet but also a public service space with humanistic care.
