land usage

Literalmente, sería land, pero en inglés resulta demasiado general, por lo que he añadido usage, que es de lo que se trata.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bubo Coroman (X) : suggest "land use"

Thanks, Deborah, yes, that would also work
agree Ruth Ramsey : "Town planning and land use" seems to bring up a fair number of hits on Google.

Thanks, Ruth, yes, that would also work
agree Cristina Novo : a combination of what has already been suggested: "land use planning" or "regional planning"; they can be translated for "ordenación del territorio"

territorial planning

Sounds horrid doesn't it, and we're all flinching because it smacks of a literal translation. But this is how the Spanish regional government departments de "ordenación de territorio" are translated:

"Office of Housing and Territorial Planning (Consejeria de Vivienda y Ordenacion del Territorio)." http://www.almanzora-au.org/POTA.htm

"Maria Prezioso is professor of economic geography and economic and territorial planning in the School of Economics at “Tor Vergata” University of Rome" http://www.rtpi.org.uk/item/3898

"Contract Signed for Territorial Planning of Overhead Line " http://www.euroinvestor.co.uk/news/story.aspx?id=10688475

"Year Three Courses
Territorial Planning and Development" https://secure.dundee.ac.uk/planning/courses/geog-plan.pdf (NB this is British university course, so no question about the "existence" of the term, even if is in translation in my previous examples!)
Peer comment(s):

agree argosys : I encounter "land use planning" more often. Territorial planning is more comprehensive.
