Abstract: A 1965 problem due to Danzer asks whether there exists a set with finite density in Euclidean space intersecting any convex body of volume one. A suitable weakening of the volume constraint leads to the (much more recent) problem of constructing emph{dense forests}. These are discrete point sets getting uniformly close to long enough line segments. Progress towards these problems have so far involved a wide range of ideas surrounding areas as varied as combinatorial and computation geometry, convex geometry, Diophantine approximation, discrepancy theory, the theory of dynamical systems, the theory of exponential sums, Fourier analysis, homogeneous dynamics, the mathematical theory of quasicrystals and probability theory. The goal of this paper is to survey the known results related to the Danzer Problem and to the construction of dense forests, to generalise some of them and to state a number of open problems to make further progress towards a solution to this longstanding question.
