所谓政绩工程、形象工程，是某些领导干部为了个人或小团体的目的和利益，不顾群众需要和当地实际，不惜利用手中权力而搞出的劳民伤财、浮华无效却有可能为自己和小团体标榜政绩的工程。例如，温总理在第十一届全国人民代表大会第二次会议上承诺“绝不能搞劳民伤财的‘形象工程’和脱离实际的‘政绩工程’，绝不允许利用扩大公共投资为单位和个人谋取私利。”

Wen has pledged "we will prohibit image projects that waste both human and financial resources and vanity projects that are divorced from reality, and will never allow any organization or individual to exploit the surge in public spending for private gain."
