Theorem
A topological space is metrisable if and only if it is regular, Hausdorff and has a countably locally finite base.

Examples
Basic statements
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are locally compact
compact spaces equivalently have converging subnet of every net
continuous metric space valued function on compact metric space is uniformly continuous
paracompact Hausdorff spaces equivalently admit subordinate partitions of unity
injective proper maps to locally compact spaces are equivalently the closed embeddings
locally compact and second-countable spaces are sigma-compact
Theorems
Analysis Theorems
Given a topological space , then a set of subsets is countably locally finite or -locally finite if it is a countable union of locally finite sets of subsets.
This property is used in Nagata-Smirnov metrization theorem:
A topological space is metrisable if and only if it is regular, Hausdorff and has a countably locally finite base.
