Abstract: We show a Whitney Approximation Theorem for a continuous map from a manifold to a smooth CW complex. This enables us to show that a topological CW complex is homotopy equivalent to a smooth CW complex in a category of topological spaces. It is also shown that, for any open covering of a smooth CW complex, there exists a partition of unity subordinate to the open covering.
