Since you guys like free toilets, here's one in the Shibuya district of Tokyo. Designed by Junko Kobayashi for 'The Tokyo Toilet', a project building new free toilet buildings around the district. You can see a 3d walkthrough, list of amenities, and more photos here: https://tokyotoilet.jp/en/sasazuka_greenway/

This is two years into a project by street furniture behemoth, JCDecaux. It looks good, but I haven't found anything about it that isn't a JCDecaux press release.

Already installed at Fulton Street and Truxton Street in Brooklyn, and at 34th Avenue and 64th Street in Queens.

The consultants piloted the idea, along with other non-infrastructure interventions, at Wadala Station in Mumbai and saw significant results. There's an article from 2019 that says that the idea has spread beyond this initial station.
