Please help me paraphrase these sentences

Hello guys,

Normally I will try my best to paraphrase these sentences, but these days I have had a very bad mood so I can't think of anything. So, please help me because my deadline is coming

Note: You may choose just 4 easiest sentences for you to paraphrase.

Topic: Why has globalization led to bigger cities?

1. The share of the world living in urbanized areas increased from 40.9 percent in 1985 to more than 50 percent today.

2. Globalization and technological change have increased the returns to being smart; human beings are a social species that get smart by hanging around smart people.

3. Knowledge moves more quickly at close quarters, and as a result, cities are often the gateways between continents and civilizations.

4. There is a gread deal of concern today about whether the megacities of Asia are just too big.

5. Nehru, in his response to Gandhi, had it right: "a village, normally speaking is backward intellectually and culturally and no progess can be made from a backward environment."

6. But when people crowd into cities, the costs of governmental failure become painful and obvious.
