Given a metric space $(X,d)$ and a subset $S\subset X$, the projection $P_S$ onto $S$ is well-defined as a set valued function. I am interested in learning more about properties of these projections such as uniqueness, continuity, proximinality, etc.
Unfortunately, almost every paper I can find on this topic considers the special case where $X$ is a Banach space. I am interested specifically in the case where $X$ is a general metric space. Any pointers to papers or monographs would be appreciated.
Note. Apparently Ivan Singer has some papers from the 1960s on this, but I can’t track down the full text of the papers online. For example:
[1] Some remarks on approximative compactness. Rev. Roum. Math. Pures Appl. 9(1964), 167-177
References on metric spaces. Here are a couple papers I have found specifically regarding metric spaces:

References on Banach spaces. Just in case, here are useful some references on the Banach space version.
