Abstract:

We answer an old question due to Kuratowski by constructing a (separable metric) space $X$ having the following properties: (1) $X$ is not an ANR, and (2) for every space $Y$ and for every compact $A \subseteq Y$, every continuous map $f:A \to X$ can be continuously extended to a map $\bar f:Y \to X$.
