what the difference is between a "space plan" and a "spatial plan

[michaelbeijer]

Can someone please tell me what the difference is between a "space plan" and a "spatial plan"?

I am trying to translate the Dutch term "ruimteplan" / "ruimtelijke plan" ... in a text about an architecture and engineering company that designs VERY LARGE things, such as hospitals and public spaces, etc. For example, it says somewhere, "Through an architectural design competition, COMPANY X was appointed by the management to create a spatial plan, that outlines the care and development strategy for the next X years."

"space plan" ->

"spatial" plan ->"

http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=e...=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1360&bih=655

Google Images seems to imply that "space plan" refers to buildings, whereas "spatial plan" to larger structures/areas of land. Is this at all correct?

Thanks!

Michael
