For cofibrations $A \subset X$ the projection $CA \cup X \rightarrow X/A$ is a homotopy equivalence. But what happens for general pairs of spaces ? Is the projection at least still a weak equivalence or can the (weak) homotopy types actually differ ? I was not able to come up with any counterexample, but maybe someone here knows the answer.
