Forget the harbour and the beaches, shopping malls have a much bigger influence on how people spend their days in Sydney.

The populations of Chatswood, Bondi Junction and Castle Hill – which have some of the city's biggest shopping centres – all swell to more than 270,000 during the day, a study has found. That is about 5 1/2 times more than the typical Sydney neighbourhood's daytime population, research by Bob Schwartz, the chief economist of business software services firm Pitney Bowes, shows.

The army of commuters who work in Sydney's CBD gives it by far the biggest daytime population – at almost 2 million it is six times bigger than second-ranked Parramatta. But the influence of shopping malls is underscored by the presence of Westfield centres in 11 of the city's top 15 daytime population hubs including Hurstville (seventh), Burwood (eighth), Hornsby (10th), Penrith (11th), Liverpool (12th), Miranda (13th) and Brookvale (14th).

The Westfield Group, which opened its first mall in Blacktown in 1959, has 18 centres across NSW and has emerged as one of the world's largest shopping centre owners and managers.
