Apr 26, 2018 at 12:27 comment added Todd Trimble @bof Yes, which means the answer to OP's question is false even if we restrict to increasing chains of metrizable subspaces (e.g., the integers with the cofinite topology).
Apr 26, 2018 at 12:21 history closed Todd Trimble Duplicate of Are countable unions of metrizable spaces metrizable too?
Apr 26, 2018 at 9:17 comment added bof Isn't every countable $\text{T}_1$-space the union of a sequence of metrizable spaces?
Apr 26, 2018 at 8:48 comment added ABB @Corbennick Actually I faced a particular type of topological spaces and would like to know whether they are well-known or not: Let $X$ be a topological space. Let us say $X$ has property P if there exists a metric $d$ on $X$ and a sequence of spaces $X_n\subseteq X$ such that all $X_n$ are $d$-metrizable and $X=\bigcup X_n$.
Apr 26, 2018 at 8:35 comment added ABB @ Corbennick Nice example.
Apr 26, 2018 at 8:30 comment added ABB @ Evgeny Kuznetsov I mean $X_n$ is just contained in $X$ for every $n$.
Apr 26, 2018 at 8:26 comment added user1688 The line with double origin is a union of two metrizable spaces, but is not metrizable itself, as it is not Hausdorff.
Apr 26, 2018 at 8:22 comment added Evgeny Kuznetsov Please explain, what does it mean a sequence of spaces?
