German term or phrase: Raumplanung

Raumplanung
In Zusammenarbeit mit Kooperationspartnern bietet Ihnen [Firma X] bei Identifikation eines Objektes eine Raumplanung an, anhand derer Sie Ihre Flächennutzung individuell gestalten. Mit einem durchdachten und effizienten Flächennutzungskonzept können wir Ihrem Unternehmen aufzeigen, wie durch die optimale Ausnutzung einer Mietfläche ein wirtschaftliches und produktives Arbeiten möglich ist und darüber hinaus eine zusätzliche Performancesteigerung der vorhandenen Personalresourcen ermöglicht wird.

In all the dictionaries I have, "Raumplanung" is translated as "development planning" or "regional planning" and "Flächennutzung" is normally "land use", but would you agree that here they seem to be talking about "space/floor planning"?

floor space planning

Explanation:
Ernst has "floor space plan" under "Raumplan", it seems reasonable to adapt this to your context as "floor space planning".

room planning or space planning

Explanation:
this sounds like what it is - something simple - later you are going to have to find translations for 'Flaechennutzung', etc.
