Event Details

 

Albina Ruiz, founder of Ciudad Saludable (The Healthy City Project) is awarded the 2011 RSA Albert Medal for for outstanding contribution to environmental management and micro enterprise. 

Albina Ruiz is founder and chief architect of a system of self-reliant, community-run micro businesses that are dedicated to processing urban waste and promoting cleaner and healthier cities across the globe.

Albina will give a lecture highlighting the innovative work of her organisation Ciudad Saludable, describing how it grew from its small Peruvian origins into a global non-profit movement. Ciudad Saludable has its own postgraduate university programme and a dedicated foundation geared towards replicating their successful model in other cities worldwide.

Recounting her own experiences of setting up and driving forward this global social enterprise, Albina’s story will strike a chord with many of the RSA’s Fellows who are working in the same field, and will provide inspiration for the RSA’s nascent Enterprise programme.

Chaired by Julian Thompson, director of projects, RSA
