In the article, "Sorting Places Out? Towards a Social Politics of Neighbourhood Informatization", Roger Burrows and Nick Ellison discuss how urban policy and planning have been virtually absent in modern day times. They also examine the consequences and after math of online Geographical Information System (GIS) for the social policies. Burrows and Ellison not only argue how not only social citizenship and is understood in terms of proactive and reactive engagement, but also how virtual decisions can effect the overall public sphere and the shaping of these communities.
Farther into the article, we see how Burrows and Ellison compare and contrast different areas by giving them titles such as live zones vs. dead zones, and tame zones vs. wild zones. The comparing and contrasting of live zones vs. dead zones is used to communicate the idea of fluid geographies and the opportunities for the flow and exchange of extraordinary amounts of information. They use these characterizations in order to determine the socio-spatial reconstruction.
