In this chapter we introduce a homology theory which agrees with the cellular homology theory of Chap. 2 on finite CW complexes, but which is a more sensitive detector of topological properties of infinite CW complexes having locally finite type. This new homology is not a homotopy invariant but it is a proper or CW-proper homotopy invariant in appropriate contexts. The “new homology modulo the old homology” defines homology at the end of a CW complex.
