Tech/Engineering - Architecture / urbanism
Spanish term or phrase: oferta
From a text by a Spanish urbanist. This does not seem like "supply" to me:

La arquitectura plurifuncional fue enunciada en los años 80 como un recurso ideal para dar sentido a tantos complejos periféricos que necesitaban atender diversos programas para neutralizar la dispersión de la oferta y los servicios. Así, vemos cómo el ocio, los equipamientos y las oficinas se acumulaban en grandes proyectos híbridos debidamente conectados a los sistemas de transportes.

Explanation:
I think Phil is right. Oferta here is just another way of saying facilities, i.e. what a locality can offer people

what was on offer


Explanation:
Maybe easier to fit into your sentence.

Things were no longer so concentrated in urban centres, and with this spreading out into the suburbs, new buildings had to be slung up to include this vague category (blocks with banks/shops/insurance companies/public offices etc on their ground floors) to provide space for all this.
