PRECEDE-PROCEED model would be my choice to use to develop a program to help decrease childhood obesity in the city. Knowing that there is no physical activity program location in the city the PRECEDE-PROCEED can be used.

Because the PRECEDE-PROCEED model is a comprehensive structure for assessing health needs for designing, enforcing, and comparing health advertising and different public health programs to meet those wishes. PRECEDE provides the shape for making plans a centered and targeted public health program. PROCEED gives the structure for implementing and evaluating the public health program.  The PRECEDE-PROCEED model gives a shape that helps the making plans and implementation of health merchandising or disease prevention applications. This model has labored well for many health advertising topics and can correctly support one-time interventions or long-running programs.  What is important is to do not forget whether all components of the model are suitable for the program and the sources to be had to help implementation. Another important thing to remember that the components of the plan can be tailored over the years, as needed.

PRECEDE stands for Predisposing, Reinforcing, and enabling Constructs in educational analysis and assessment. It involves assessing the following community factors: social, epidemiological, ecological assessments and implementation of interventions.

PROCEED stands for Policy, Regulatory, and Organizational Constructs in Educational and Environmental Development. It involves the identification of desired outcomes and program implementation: process, impact, outcome evaluations.
