 ions that tackle the Exposome in complex urban systems can be costly and h
 ave long-term\, sometimes unforeseen\, impacts. Hence\, it is crucial to a
 ssess the health and social impacts of possible urban exposome interventio
 ns before implementing them. Spatial agent-based modelling can capture com
 plex behaviour-environment interactions\, exposure dynamics\, and social o
 utcomes in a spatial context. We present our work on agent-based modeling 
 of transport interventions in Amsterdam.\n\nOur agent-based modeling appro
 ach entails the integration of behavioural models of people’s mobility c
 hoices and dynamic physical models of environmental stressors (NO2\, Noise
 ). The interaction of these sub-models approximates personal behavioural a
 nd environmental exposure. Consequently\, the accumulated health impacts f
 or various interventions and population groups are assessed using exposure
 -response functions. We present our model architecture and methodology\, t
 he strength and limitations of ABM for health impact assessment\, and our 
 findings on the effects of transport interventions in Amsterdam.\n\nAbout 
 Tabea Sonnenschein\nTabea Sonnenschein is a PhD Candidate focused on devel
 oping spatial agent-based models that simulate the health and social impac
 ts of urban interventions as part of the EU-funded EXPANSE and EXPOSOME-NL
  projects. She is affiliated to the Institute of Risk Assessment Sciences 
 and the Geoscience Faculty at Utrecht University\, as well as the Planetar
 y Health Group of the University Medical Center Utrecht. She is moreover a
  junior researcher at the Center for Complex System Sciences and an expert
  for the Urban AI think tank. From 2019-2020\, Tabea was a visiting studen
 t at the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab. In 2020 she earned her Msc Rese
 arch in Urban and Economic Geography from Utrecht University (summa cum la
 ude).
