A topological space $ X $
such that for any point $ x $
and any neighbourhood $ O _ {x} $
of it there is a smaller connected neighbourhood $ U _ {x} $
of $ x $.
Any open subset of a locally connected space is locally connected. Any connected component of a locally connected space is open-and-closed. A space $ X $
is locally connected if and only if for any family $ \{ A _ {t} \} $
of subsets of $ X $,
$$ \partial \cup _ { t } A _ {t} \subset \ {\cup _ { t } {\partial A _ {t} } } bar $$
(here $ \partial B $ is the boundary of $ B $ and $ \overline{B}\; $ is the closure of $ B $). Any locally path-connected space is locally connected. A partial converse of this assertion is the following: Any complete metric locally connected space is locally path-connected (the Mazurkiewicz–Moore–Menger theorem).
