Aesthetic communication discourse of urban design for fourth order design in sustainable urban regeneration

The research examines several aspects of urban design in order to build on its integrative potential for sustainable urban regeneration. It will discuss the concept and definition of urban design to support the claim that process-oriented urban design can foster creative integration, despite opposing urban development paradigms for fourth-order design. Sustainable urban regeneration will be studied via the perspective of aesthetics in communication as the primary integrative instrument of fourth-order design. The paper presents a theoretical and conceptual overview of numerous integrating elements of urban design. Thus, the process of philosophical and theoretical comparisons is utilized within the disciplines of sustainability, communication, and aesthetics.
