It has been a privilege to serve this remarkable institution in Tthis time - a period which has encompassed quite extraordinary change, not least in the newly merged boroughs of Brighton and Hove being declared as a city. Such municipal status has been emblematic of an energy for development, on many fronts, that ushers in myriad schemes for building and conversion which the Regency Society and its officers have a distinct role to play in accessing the architectural merits and sensitivities of such change and growth. These are exciting, if challenging, times. The built environment of Brighton and Hove has emerged in phases of distinct and notable styles - from our eponymous Regency, through Victorian and Edwardian epochs, significant elements of 20th century modernism, the bold and sweeping educational expansion of the 1960s, which brought us the University of Sussex, and now a much heightened general interest in new architecture, and a revived celebratory status for a range of individual architects and their practices.

Although it must be noted that, due to competing project pressures faced by the event organizers, BHOD 12 offered some 30% less events than in recent years. • Assessing visitor numbers for 2012 is difficult, due in part to the very busy nature of some venues. However, it is thought that overall, despite the number of activities on offer being reduced for 2012, approximately 10,000- 11,000 visitors attended the event, approaching the numbers attained in recent years. • Media coverage for the event was good, with exposure in, The Argus, various local amenity magazines and weekly publications, BBC local radio, RadioReverb, and the Discovering Places website, which publicised the HODs listings as a part of London 2012’s Cultural Olympiad campaign.
