 Locally connected space

In topology, a space is said to be **locally connected** at a point if every neighborhood of that point contains a connected neighborhood of that point. More formally, a topological space \(X\) is said to be **locally connected** if for every point \(x \in X\) and every neighborhood \(U\) of \(x\), there exists a connected neighborhood \(V\) of \(x\) such that \(V \subseteq U\).
