Are there any reasonable conditions one may impose on a path connected space such that it implies that it is locally path connected?
Thank you very much for your help

Unfortunately, this doesn’t hold even for so nice spaces as compact subsets of the plane. To construct such a space $X$ consider a convergent sequence $X_0=\{(0,0)\}\cup \{(1/n,0):n\in\Bbb N\}$ and let $X$ consists of all segments connecting a point $(1,0)$ with points of $X_0$. Then the space $X$ is pathwise connected but not locally pathwise connected at a point $(0,0)$.
On the other hand, local pathwise connectedness is preserved by some operations with topological spaces, see the following exercise from Ryszard Engelkng’s “General topology”.
