Definition
A topological space $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ is locally connected if and only if $T$ is weakly locally connected at each point of $T$.
That is, a topological space $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ is locally connected if and only if each point of $T$ has a neighborhood basis consisting of connected sets of $T$.
