Use & Nonuse of Articles in Spanish

Here is another example of the nonuse of an article in Spanish that I do not understand.  "The city was an environmental model" is "la ciudad fue modelo ambiental" not "un modelo ambiental".  I do not understand why there is no indefinite article like there is in English.
