Every paracompact Hausdorff space is a shrinking space, that is, every open cover of a paracompact Hausdorff space has a shrinking: another open cover indexed by the same set such that the closure of every set in the new cover lies inside the corresponding set in the old cover.
On paracompact Hausdorff spaces, the cohomology of a sheaf is equal to its Čech cohomology.
For instance, the integral of differential forms on paracompact manifolds is first defined locally (where the manifold looks like Euclidean space and the integral is well known), and this definition is then extended to the whole space via a partition of unity.

 Normal space
X is a normal space if, given any disjoint closed sets E and F, there are a neighbourhood U of E and a neighbourhood V of F that are also disjoint.
Sierpinski space[?] is an example of a normal space that isn't regular.
A non-normal space of some relevance to analysis is the topological vector space of all functions from the real line R to itself, with the topology of pointwise convergence[?].

The significance of paracompactness is shown by the clear generality of this concept and by a number of remarkable properties of paracompacta.
Paracompactness is not inherited by arbitrary subspaces (in which it differs from metrizability), otherwise, for example, all Tikhonov spaces, as subspaces of Hausdorff compacta, would be paracompact.
On the other hand, in the class of Hausdorff spaces, the inverse image of a paracompactum under a perfect mapping is a paracompactum, and the image of a paracompactum under a continuous closed mapping is a paracompactum.

 Topology - Wikipedia
Any metric space turns into a topological space if we define a set to be open if it is a (possibly infinite) union of open balls.
In a normal space, every continuous real-valued function defined on a closed subspace can be extended to a continuous map defined on the whole space.
On a paracompact Hausdorff space every open covering admits a partition of unity subordinate to the cover.

Note the similarity between the definitions of compact and paracompact: for paracompact we replace by "open refinement" and "finite" by "locally Both of these changes are significant: if take the above definition of paracompact and "open refinement" back to "subcover" or "locally back to "finite" we end up with compact spaces in both cases.
For instance the integral of differential forms on paracompact manifolds is first defined locally (where the looks like Euclidean space and the integral is well known) this definition is then extended to the space via a partition of unity.
Any space is fully normal must be paracompact and space that is paracompact must be metacompact.

As you might guess from the generality of most of the examples above, it is actually harder to think of spaces that are not paracompact than to think of spaces that are.
This means the following: if X is a paracompact Hausdorff space with a given open cover, then there exists a collection of continuous functions on X with values in the unit interval [0, 1] such that:
This property is sometimes used to define paracompact spaces (at least in the Hausdorff case).

The most important feature of paracompact Hausdorff spaces is thatthey are normal and admit partitions of unity relative to any open cover.
For instance,the integral of differential forms on paracompact manifolds is first defined locally (where the manifold looks like Euclidean space and the integral is well known), and this definition is thenextended to the whole space via a partition of unity.
For example,manifolds are usually defined to be paracompact, thus allowing integration of differential forms to be defined as in the previoussection, while excluding the long line, which is useless in almost every application.

In metric spaces, one can talk about limits of sequences; a metric space in which every Cauchy sequence has a limit is said to be complete.
Metric spaces are paracompact Hausdorff spaces and hence normal (indeed they are perfectly normal).
An important consequence is that every metric space admits partitions of unity and that every continuous real-valued function defined on a closed subset of a metric space can be extended to a continuous map on the whole space (Tietze extension theorem).

Topology has sometimes been called rubber-sheet geometry, because it does not distinguish between a circle and a square (a circle made out of a rubber band can be stretched into a square) but does distinguish between a circle and a figure eight (you cannot stretch a figure eight into a circle without tearing).
The spaces studied in topology are called topological spaces.

 Fibrewise General Topology: A Brief Outlook by David Buhagiar
The carried out research showed a strong analogy in the behaviour of spaces and maps and it was possible to extend the main notions and results of spaces to that of maps.
One can also add that the definitions of paracompact maps, metacompact maps, subparacompact maps and submetacompact maps strengthened the result that paracompactness, metacompactness, subparacompactness and submetacompactness are all inverse invariant of perfect maps.
Two classes of spaces were considered in [7] as the collection C, the class of all metrizable spaces and the class of all linearly ordered topological spaces (i.e., LOTS).
