Abstract Urban land surface temperature (LST) is regulated by a dynamic interplay among impervious surface, vegetation, and water. A deeper understanding of their individual and interactive effects on LST is essential for mitigating urban heat islands (UHI) and guiding sustainable urban planning. This study develops a novel integrated Vegetation-Impervious-Water Geographically Weighted Regression (V-I-W-GWR) approach to quantify their subpixel-level thermal interactions in Shanghai. Key findings include: (1) Impervious surface is a dominant factor that increases LST with spatial variability, reflecting microclimatic modulation by urban morphology. (2) Vegetation provided near-ubiquitous cooling effect, although its efficacy diminished in high-density urban cores, whereas water offered strong localized cooling, especially in suburban areas. (3) The counteractive impervious surface-vegetation interactions effect on LST was strongest in urban centers, reducing vegetation cooling capacity by an average of 71%, whereas synergistic vegetation-water effects on LST were identified in riparian zones, enhancing cooling efficiency by an average of 36% compared with their respective effect. The thermal typologies derived from this study reveal pronounced spatial non-stationary LST drivers, supporting three UHI mitigation strategies: (i) precision greening in dense impervious surface zones (fraction threshold>0.5), (ii) development of “blue-green cooling corridors” along rivers where significant synergistic cooling effects existed, and (iii) place-based planning and design policy should be adopted in terms of the thresholds of thermal responses. This study establishes the first empirically derived cooling thresholds for Shanghai's built-environment, demonstrating how integrated subpixel spectral mixture analysis and spatial regression can bridge UHI theory with climate-adaptive planning.
