Urban blue–green landscapes (UBGLs) have an important impact on the mitigation of UHIs. Clarifying the supply/demand relationship of the UBGLs’ cooling effect can serve as an indicator for high-quality urban development. We established the cooling capacity supply–demand evaluation systems of UBGLs by using multi-source data and a suitable landscape mesh size. Furthermore, we utilized the coupling coordination degree (CCD) model and the linear regression equation method to explore the spatial distribution of and variation in UBGLs’ cooling efficiency. The results showed the following: (1) according to the UBGL/SUHI landscape pattern index and the Pearson correlation coefficient of the land surface temperature (LST), the optimal mesh size was found to be 1200 m. (2) According to the unitary linear regression calculation, the matching of the cooling capacity supply and demand in the context of Qunli New Town showed obvious polarization; furthermore, Hanan new town and old town are more balanced than Qunli new town. (3) According to the spatiotemporal dynamic evolution of CCD, the proportion of moderate coordination- advancing cooling efficiency is the highest, reaching 35.3%. Second are moderate imbalance–hysteretic cooling efficiency (18.4%) and moderate imbalance–systematic balanced development (13.7%), with the old city highly coordinated area as the center and the coupling coordination type (gradually outward) turning into a state of serious imbalance, and then back into a state of high coordination. The findings of the investigations enriched a new viewpoint and practical scientific basis for UBGL system planning and cooling efficiency equity realizations.
