City officials in Berlin are hoping to solve the problem of lengthy1 female toilet queues by introducing gender-neutral urinals.
 
柏林市官员希望通过引进中性厕所来解决女厕排长队的问题。
 
In a 99-page policy document titled 'The Toilet Concept for Berlin', the left-wing coalition2 governing the German capital committed itself to pissoirs - public urinals - for both men and women.
 
The paper explains: 'In the future urinals which can be used by all genders3 should be offered.'
 
It was justified4 as an enterprise because it represented a 'continuation of the [toilet] concept and an opportunity for Berlin to show that it is innovative5', according to a translation on the BBC.
 
Other features to be included in the German toilet of the future are a well-lit exterior6, an emergency alarm, gender-neutral signs and clear visibility at the entrance.
 
But were the urinals to go ahead, they would not be the first in the world to cater7 to women as well as men.
