The problem

A defensible estimate of mortality attributable to urban air pollution, under alternative traffic scenarios, that can sit in front of policy stakeholders.

Approach

A standard epidemiological Health Impact Assessment: exposure–response functions linked to population exposure and baseline mortality, with traceable assumptions that can be inspected and re-run. Complementary causal work on how people perceive local air quality.

Outcome

Scenario-conditional mortality-burden estimates, plus the 3D game that lets people explore the city on the map instead of only reading a table.
