How the network works

A cleaner regional operating view

EDU is being structured around selected areas rather than a noisy, all-at-once marketplace. The page introduces the region first, then lets the map and destinations each have their own place in the reading flow.

Why this feels better now

Better pacing, lighter reading experience

The title is slimmer, the map is separated and the first impression feels more controlled instead of heavy.
