Is there a convenient/nice category of topological spaces that is [[locally cartesian closed]]? For instance, are [[Δ-generated topological spaces]] locally cartesian closed?

   Some categories of topological spaces, such as compactly generated topological spaces, are cartesian closed.

   Is there a convenient/nice category of topological spaces that is locally cartesian closed?

   For instance, are Δ-generated topological spaces locally cartesian closed?

   Format: MarkdownItexThe closest thing to an answer that I know of is that if $\mathcal{K}$ is the category of not-necessarily-weak-Hausdorff [[k-spaces]], and $A$ and $B$ are k-spaces that *are* weak Hausdorff, then the pullback functor $\mathcal{K}/B \to \mathcal{K}/A$ has a right adjoint. This is what May and Sigurdsson used in their book *Parametrized homotopy theory*. If you give up on the desire that your category be a subcategory of [[Top]], then there are closely related categories that are [[quasitopoi]] and hence lccc, such as [[subsequential spaces]], [[convergence spaces]], and [[pseudotopological spaces]].
