Use & Nonuse of Articles in Spanish

S. B.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

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.
