Recursively presented topological spaces are topological spaces with a recursive system of basic neighbourhoods. A recursively enumerable (r.e.) open set is a r.e. union of basic neighbourhoods. A set is everywhere r.e. open if its intersection with each basic neighbourhood is r.e. Similarly we define everywhere creative, everywhere simple, everywhere r.e. non-recursive sets and show that there exist sets both with and without these everywhere properties.
