1 Introduction
Given a discrete group and a family of subgroups (see Definition \ref{def:family} below) of , there is a -CW complex, , that classifies -CW complexes with isotropy contained in . That is, for every -CW complex , there is a -equivariant map that is unique up to -equivariant homotopy. This universal property implies that is unique up to -homotopy. For this reason is known as the classifying space (or universal space) of for the family .
