Lunetten is a neighbourhood[2] in the southeastern part of the city of Utrecht,[3] which has approximately 12,000 inhabitants. It is mainly a residential area, since there is no significant industry present.
Lunetten has a network of alleyways connecting the inner courtyards of the urban blocks. These create a child-friendly neighbourhood with many playing spots. There are also many sports facilities within and around Lunetten.
Lunetten is surrounded by major railroads and highways. To cope with the noise and pollution a park was created to surround and insulate the neighbourhood.
