\Example{top-model-structure}{
The category $\Top$ of topological spaces admits a model structure as follows.
\begin{itemize}
\item Weak equivalences: maps inducing isomorphisms on all homotopy groups.
\item Fibrations: Serre fibrations, i.e. maps with the right lifting property with respect to the inclusions $D^n \cof D^n \times I$.
\item Cofibrations: maps $S^{n-1}\cof D^n$ and transfinite compositions of pushouts and coproducts thereof.
\end{itemize}

\Example{sset-model-structure}{
The category $\sSet$ of simplicial sets has the following model structure.
\begin{itemize}
\item Weak equivalences:
\item Fibrations: Kan fibrations, i.e. maps with the right lifting property with respect to the inclusions $\Lambda_n^k \cof\Delta[n]$.
\item Cofibrations: all monomorphisms.

In this thesis we often restrict to $1$-connected spaces. The full subcategory $\Top_1$ of $1$-connected spaces satisfies MC2-MC5: the 2-out-of-3 property, retract property and lifting properties hold as we take the \emph{full} subcategory, factorizations exist as the middle space is $1$-connected as well. However $\Top_1$ does not have all limits and colimits.
\Lemma{topr-no-colimit}{
Let $r > 0$ and $\Top_r$ be the full subcategory of $r$-connected spaces. The diagrams
\cimage[scale=0.5]{Topr_No_Coequalizer}
\cimage[scale=0.5]{Topr_No_Equalizer}
have no coequalizer and respectively no equalizer in $\Top_r$.
