Sumario:We show that cellular approximations of nilpotent Postnikov stages are always nilpotent Postnikov stages, in particular classifying spaces of nilpotent groups are turned into classifying spaces of nilpotent groups. We use a modified Bousfield-Kan homology completion tower zkX whose terms we prove are all X–cellular for any X. As straightforward consequences, we show that if X is K–acyclic and nilpotent for a given homology theory K, then so are all its Postnikov sections PnX , and that any nilpotent space for which the space of pointed self-maps map .X; X/ is “canonically” discrete must be aspherical.
