Dayeon Shin

I’m Dayeon Shin, an undergraduate student at George Mason University majoring in Global Affairs with a concentration in Environment. My research focuses on the feasibility of implementing the Sponge City concept in Gangnam, Seoul, as a sustainable approach to urban flooding and stormwater management. By examining how nature-based infrastructure can be expanded and integrated with existing grey infrastructure, I aim to support climate adaptation strategies in densely developed areas. I am deeply passionate about sustainable development and the reduction of environmental degradation. My work is driven by a commitment to promoting ecological resilience and fostering more harmonious relationships between people and nature.
